SUTTON, Circuit Judge. Police executed a search warrant at Shawn Parrish’s house after detecting that an IP address associated with his home had downloaded child pornography. The search turned up nude videos of Parrish’s twelve-year-old daughter on his cell phone. Ajury convicted him of receiving and possessing child pornography, and a prior related conviction triggered a sentence enhancement. Parrish appeals his conviction, arguing that the search of his cell phone violated the Fourth Amendment and that the child pornography statute is void for vagueness.
