Question Presented (from Petition)

1. Whether the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit's reversal of the district court's order terminating petitioner's sex offender registration and instead finding petitioner to be a tier II sex offender was erroneous as a result of its reading 34 U.S.C. § 20911 in the disjunctive, which conflicts with the rules and canons of statutory construction relied upon in several decisions of this Court, including that a plain reading of § 20911(3)(A)(iv) does not include an "or" at the end of that subsection.

Question Presented (AI Summary)
