Summary
In Reynolds, the Court will resolve a deep circuit split as to whether SORNA applies, on its own force, to defendants, like Clements, who were registered sex offenders in one state before Congress enacted SORNA, moved to another state after Congress enacted SORNA, failed to update their registration, and were indicted before the AG's final regulation on retroactivity took effect. If SORNA does so apply, then the Interim Rule would be superfluous, and any procedural error in its promulgation would be irrelevant to this case.
