United States v. Neil Scott Kramer
10-1983 · 2011-02-08
Appeal (appellant) Denied

“But is an ordinary cellular phone -- used only to place calls and send text messages -- a computer? The district court, relying on the definition of "computer" found in 18 U.S.C. 1030(e)(1), concluded that Neil Kramer's was, and imposed an enhanced prison sentence for its use in committing an offense. We affirm.”

Mark Moore v. John Thurston
· 2019-07-01
Appeal (appellant) Moot / procedural

“As the state legislature recently amended the challenged statute to accord with the petition filing deadline that Moore had sought, no controversy remains, and thus we dismiss the appeal as moot.”
