Question presented

The questions presented for review are: I. Whether a rebuttable presumption standard of review should apply to a defendant’s appeal of his sentence challenging that the sentence is in violation of the 18 U.S.C.§3553(A). II. Whether the pattern of activity pursuant to U.S.S.G. §4B1.5(b)(1) applies to a sex offense case where the two criminal acts occurred close in time on the same afternoon; and; III. Whether U.S.S.G. §2G2.1 enhancement for use of a computer in a case involving child pornography is improper due to its inherent and nearly universal application in such cases resulting in a double counting for the same conduct?
