United States v. Minor

Defendant appealed his conviction and sentence for multiple counts of bank fraud and related offenses. The court concluded that defendant has not cited any authority recognizing his proposed exception to Franks v. Delaware, and the court declined defendant's invitation to create a new exception to well-established Supreme Court precedent; the district court did not abuse its discretion in applying a six-level enhancement under USSG 2B1.1(b)(2)(C) for an offense committed with over 250 victims; the district court did not err by applying an eighteen-level enhancement under section 2B1.1(b)(1)(J) because the district court's calculation that defendant's total intended loss was between $2,500,000 and $7,000,000, was not unreasonable; and defendant's request for remand is foreclosed by United States v. Garcia-Carrillo. Accordingly, the court affirmed the judgment. View "United States v. Minor" on Justia Law
