In re McClain, 226 N.C. App. 465 (Apr. 16, 2013)

The court rejected the defendant’s argument that the trial court erred by denying his petition for removal from the sex offender registry because the incorporation of the Adam Walsh Act and SORNA into G.S. 14-208.12A(a1)(2) was an unconstitutional delegation of legislative authority. The court reasoned in part that “[s]imply defining when particular conduct is unlawful by reference to an external standard . . . has not been deemed an unconstitutional delegation of legislative authority.”
