Appeal from the Superior Court of the District of Columbia (Hon. Ronald P. Wertheim, Trial Judge)

Argued May 8, 2001

Larry D. Cannon was convicted in 1969 of two counts of robbery and one count of assault with intent to commit rape. He received an aggregate sentence of fifteen to forty-five years’ imprisonment. In June of 1999, Cannon’s parole officer A. Igborzurkie notified him that he was required to register as a sex offender under the District’s sex offender registration law. *fn1 Cannon thereupon filed a habeas corpus action in Superior Court, in which he contended that the registration law did not apply to him because he was seventeen years of age and hence a juvenile when he committed his registration offense. Opposing Cannon’s petition, the District of Columbia argued that Cannon was subject to the statutory registration requirement because the Juvenile Court had waived jurisdiction in his case and he was lawfully prosecuted and convicted as an adult. The Superior Court sided with the District, denied habeas corpus relief and dismissed Cannon’s petition. We now affirm that ruling on Cannon’s appeal.
