registration requirements of the Sex Offender Registration and Notification Act
is not required for a conviction under 18 U.S.C. § 2250(a). See also United States
v. Heth, 596 F.3d 255, 258-60 & n.3 (5th Cir. 2010).                     Accordingly, the

be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR.
R. 47.5.4.
