Case Summary

S-23-0960 State of Nebraska (Appellee) v. Chad R. Clausen (Appellant)

Appeal from the Nebraska Court of Appeals on appeal therefrom the District Court for Washington County, Judge John E. Samson

Attorneys:  Adam J. Sipple (Sipple Law for Appellant) and Nathan A. Liss (Asst. Attorney General for Appellee)

Criminal:  Sex Offender Registration Act (SORA)

Proceedings below:  The Court of Appeals affirmed the district court’s finding that Appellant violated SORA. See State v. Clausen, 33 Neb.App. 12, 9 N.W.2d 247 (2024).  Appellant petitioned for further review, which this Court granted and ordered this matter to be transferred to its docket.

Issues:  Appellant makes the following statement of errors on petition for further review:  1) The Court of Appeals erred by finding the State presented sufficient evidence at trial that Appellant established a temporary domicile at the Washington County residence; 2) The Court of Appeals erred by relying upon evidence admissible only for impeachment to support its finding that the evidence was sufficient; and 3) The Court of Appeals erred by construing SORA to prohibit staying “at a residence other than his registered one for 3 days out of every week, as long as one of those days was a weekend.”
