U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit

United States v. Alan Disomma, Jr.

August 19, 2026

Summary

The court affirmed Disomma’s convictions and life sentence arising from his efforts to arrange sexual activity with fictitious minors created by an undercover officer. It held that the investigation was not outrageous, that the evidence did not warrant an entrapment instruction, and that Disomma failed to establish plain error or sentencing unreasonableness. The court also denied his motions to file pro se supplemental briefs because he was represented by counsel and the appeal was not submitted under the applicable appointed-counsel procedure.
