Controverted definition

Controverted means “to dispute or oppose by reasoning.” Mirriam Webster's Collegiate Dictionary 252 (10th ed.1993). The Government did not dispute the fact that Lopez's crime did not involve contact with an identifiable minor. Thus there was no “dispute” for the district court to have ruled on. Instead, Lopez's argument was merely an argument in mitigation of his sentence.
