United States v. John Lavota, Jr.
United States v. John Lavota, Jr.
Opinion
Appealing the judgment in a criminal case, John Roman Lavota, Jr., raises an argument that he concedes is foreclosed by United States v. Richardson, 713 F.3d 232, 236 (5th Cir.), cert. denied, — U.S. -, 134 S.Ct. 230, 187 L.Ed.2d 171 (2013), which held that a defendant’s actions in downloading child pornography images *316 from a peer-to-peer network and in storing them in a folder that could be accessed by other network users was sufficient to establish distribution. Accordingly, the Government’s motion for summary affirmance is GRANTED, its alternative motion for an extension of time to file a brief is DENIED, and the judgment of the district court is AFFIRMED.
Pursuant to 5th Cir. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5th Cir. R. 47.5.4.
