Court Appealed: United States District Court for the Eastern District of Tennessee at Knoxville

HELENE N. WHITE, Circuit Judge. Tywan Sykes was convicted of a series of offenses related to child pornography and enticement of a minor. On appeal, he argues that the district court erred in denying his motion to suppress evidence seized from his Facebook account and mobile phone; that the district court erroneously admitted evidence of a past sex-offense conviction; that there was insufficient evidence to convict on all charges; and that his sentence is procedurally unreasonable. We AFFIRM.
