7th Circuit Court of Appeals
United States of America v. Gregory Johnson
23-3251
Criminal. Appeal from the United States District Court for the Northern District of Indiana, Fort Wayne Division. Chief judge Holly Brady. Vacates the $5,000 Child Pornography Victim Assistance Act assessment imposed against Gregory Johnson. Finds the district court correctly recognized that the assessment is mandatory and imposed it accordingly. However, it also finds the court did not explain why $5,000 was an appropriate amount, particularly given its findings about Johnson’s financial condition for purposes of other financial penalties. Orders a limited remand for the district court to impose an assessment and explain its basis for doing so. Attorneys for appellant: Robert Gevers II, Thomas Patton, Michael Roy. Attorneys for appellee: David Hollar, Eli Temkin.
