No question identified. : QUESTIONI[S] PRESENTED This Court has said that prior convictions formed the basis of a sex offender registry. Smith v. Doe, 538 U.S. 84, 105 (2003). This Court has said an expired sentence may entail civil rights violations at a later date. United States v. Morgan, 346 U.S. 502, 512513 (1953). This Court has said'an expired sentence resurrected via a civil rights violation may raise a subject matter for a court. Fiswick v. United States, 329 U.S. 211, 220221 (1946). So, the Iowa Sex Offender Registry (SOR) may entail civil rights violations in the improper use of expired sentences. QUESTIONS 1.

Whether petitioner can be released from Tier II (which is for life) and altogether from SOR via the habeas corpus writ. 1
