United States v. Williams, No. 13-13042 (11th Cir. 2015)
Annotate this CaseDefendant appealed his conviction for charges related to his use of fraudulent checks. The court affirmed defendant’s convictions (Counts 1–5) for violating 18 U.S.C. 514 because they were supported by sufficient evidence; affirmed defendant's conviction under 18 U.S.C. 1029 because defendant's conduct falls outside of section 1029's narrow exception for transfers originating solely by paper instrument; and affirmed defendant's conviction under 18 U.S.C. 3146 where, in situations where the defendant was released pending a hearing on a violation of supervised release, the “offense” referenced in section 3146(b)(1)(A)(i) and (ii) is the original conviction, as the period of supervised release is simply part of the sentence for the underlying conviction. Therefore, the court concluded that the district court did not err when interpreting the criminal statutes at issue and there was sufficient evidence to support defendant's convictions.
