good morning may please the court my name is dan colson i'm the assistant federal defender representing the appellant shawn right this is a hideous case and the question is whether or not mr wright can establish that he is in custody pursuant to the judgment of the state of alaska which he seeks to collaterally attack mr wright was prosecuted and convicted in the stable alaska for a sex offense and as a result of that conviction he is now classified as a sex offender a judgment that he received explained that he had to register as a sex offender for life and that notice was signed by the judge pursuant to that judgment mr wright was branded a sex offender and he was subsequently prosecuted in tennessee in federal court in tennessee for failing to register as a sex offender there is no question that because mr wright is presently on supervised release that he is subject to restraints on his freedom and liberty that are not shared by the public generally he qualifies as in custody the remaining question is whether or not mr right can show that his custodial status is attributed to the judgment of the state of alaska well can there it's interesting because you the underlying conviction was in idaho and then he was incarcerated for violating the registration requirement in idaho here you have a case where he's left alaska and your argument is that because he's on supervised release that's quillan to incarceration but that's in tennessee so why wouldn't he be a case that he has properly brought in seem did not dwell on the fact that the petitioner in that case happened to have been prosecuted for failing to register as a sex offender in the same state where the underlying predicate rape conviction was imposed what this court held comply with the state's sex offender registration law because the earlier a conviction is a quote necessary the ticket to the failure to register charge the court denied all that's true that's true but the general hevia statutes say that the case must be brought had cases that fayette i think it has to be brought in the jurisdiction where that where he is think custody and our position is that the custodial effects that mr wright is experiencing in tennessee are pursuant to the the state of alaska his status as a sex offender is what question is whether that's enough i understand the argument but i am concerned about our case law that says you have to bring in we do this all the time we transfer devious important here and what maybe the rd circuit's decision and to seche highlights is that we have replaced this patchwork quilt of registration requirements has the effect of making sure that every person who has a sex offender who is branded as a sex offender whether it's in alaska missouri and washington wherever that they are subject to the same reporting requirements will them and i thought they weren't subject to the same reporting requirements and that's part of the issue here because some of the other cases that were under store not there wasn't there some of the requirements here that are in my view somewhat egregious and might support your position are that he can't buy a home within a one thousand feet of a school now my understanding is this and maybe correct me if i've got this wrong but that not every state has adopted that same requirement but tennessee has well there are criminal penalties that are attached but for for you know for example you can't go into a public library if you're a sex offender and right that's about it when you can see but but i think that's true in every other state but what we're talking about i think what the course should be focusing on is the registration requirements themselves because it requires him to appear in person at particular times and that well and i got to be honest i didn't find that particularly compelling and i think we've got other chords that have rejected that argument and i would and i would call the court's attention to what this dowel and i think barry is the other case and those are cases where this court family history is stiction to apply for things like having to appear alcohol education classes right being required to be someplace at a certain time was if you have it hold them back up the alcohol education class was like a fourteen hour class he had to be there i mean i don't think that have i mean the speed imposes a whole bunch of it's going to get your driver's license you've got it you've got to go in and and register so i don't think the read the im person registration least in my view that wasn't compelling to me the compelling part was you can't you can't go into a public library true restriction is freedom you can't go into a public library can't go can't live within a one thousand feet of house arrest accused me of school so my question is and i think you've answered it those two requirements you know themselves are specific to tennessee they may be in other states as well but but that is he wasn't required to adopt those pursuing and i would say that i think what you've described is not consistent with the way that custody has been defined historically that custody is simply a restriction on your freedom of movement it's whether or not you can come and go as you please bear in mind that i mean and i realize this is sort of an eye of the holder kind of a situation but if you were subject to some of these registration requirements imposed on her store network customer so i think that there start was building on a foundation of this circuits didn't and really it's one of the st decisions to really analyze the posts or in a regime all those so are you making two arguments here regarding think that such go controls the outcome of this case i think that we're on all fours i don't think this court needs to necessarily gauge with whether or not posts or not registration requirements are custodial but certainly if the court wants if the court is and with that i think i've gone over the time but we will give you a minute for a bottle thank you council will hear from the  consequences of the federal sex offender registry in tennessee as well but in the state's view judge singleton correctly distinguished xisco in that sense because all of those things so i really think that rationale is just enough to the to distinguish each go but but you spent a lot of your time in your in your brief arguing that we should overrule it's go that was later overruled by a published opinion and a couple of out of circuit district court decisions all of which are not only so i don't not find but i want to give you an opportunity here to address the well i'm not sure if the rd circuit decision the unpublished decision was overruled for distinguish was talking about sequential convictions and it said that lackawanna had held that person was in custody with respect to the st conviction in fact lackawanna said that the person was in custody with respect to the  realize we can't do that as a as a three judge panel so i mean i think you're better argument if this is what i'm interested in and maybe your state sovereign's puling exception is the same thing i was getting at is why if he's in custody and there does seem to be whether you look at go or or some of our other president there does seem to be some suggestion that he's and costly with these superbugs release requirements but to me that is in tennessee and so why let me find it here  and it's irrelevant what the what the federal registry conditions are met the tennessee registry conditions are because again based on the sever summons rex now says so to me the only thing that's relevant to look at is the state of and violated the registry would he be subject to the same restrictions that he's now subject to in tennessee no alaska registry conditions are relatively minimalistic there's no requirement that you get advance permission to do anything you you have to give  notice after the fact like if you move or change your car industry or things like that you know well the storm that requirements would be the same that they would be met again but you know again i my argument is that there are the consequences of a se can can i ask for clever so the sort of requirements of the same in every state but then states can add to it is that how it works right now i believe so yes ok so has been called into question what's the precise language and johnson that you're relying upon well that's just talking about the ability to collaterally challenge as a conviction as supposedly undercutting the holding as such go i think are distinguishable in the sense that the cases cited by responded and call challenges to a prior conviction that was used to enhance a sentence or in the case of  necessary predicate for the subsequent prosecution in tennessee we're talking about the fact that if his state conviction in alaska isn't validated mr wright will have established is actual innocence on the charge for which he is presently on supervised release that means that the prior conviction is not as attenuated as it is in the cases cited by respondent and i think that's the critical distinction between such go and and lackawanna and those other cases that respondent cites
