State v. Moody, 2012 Ohio 733

Moody, a convicted sex offender, must notify the county sheriff of changes of address.
He was indicted March 12, 2010 for failure to notify the sheriff of a change of address (R.C. 2950.05(A)), a felony of the third degree.
Moody challenged reclassification under the Adam Walsh Act as unconstitutional under State v. Bodyke; argued Megan's Law requirements should be reinstated.
The trial court overruled Moody's motion to dismiss, following State v. Huffman, which allowed conviction where reclassification had no effect on reporting requirements.
Moody pled to a reduced charge of Attempted Failure to Provide Notice of Change of Address; the court found him guilty; appellate brief filed under Anders and later withdrawn.

Issue	Plaintiff's Argument	Defendant's Argument	Held
Whether Adam Walsh reclassification violates Bodyke	Moody argues reclassification unconstitutional	Moody contends Megan's Law reinstated; reporting unchanged	No reversible error; conviction upheld
Whether prosecution for failure to notify is proper despite reclassification	Reclassification affects reporting duties	Reclassification had no effect on reporting requirement	Conviction proper under Huffman
Whether Anders requirements were satisfied and any nonfrivolous issues exist	Appellate counsel found no nonfrivolous issues	Moody did not file his own brief to raise issues	Court independently reviewed; no nonfrivolous issues
