United States v. Stringer, No. 12-608 (2d Cir. 2013)
Annotate this CaseDefendant appealed his conviction on both counts of a superseding indictment where a jury found him guilty of bank fraud and unlawful use of another person's means of identification in relation to the bank fraud. Defendant's convictions stemmed from his involvement in an operation to use names and identification documents of other persons to open bank accounts funded with forged checks and withdraw proceeds. The court concluded that, notwithstanding the failure of defendant's indictment to name the persons whose means of identification were used in the commission of bank fraud, the indictment was constitutionally adequate. The court also concluded that defendant's contention that the district court abused its discretion in refusing to postpone the trial date upon the filing of the superseding indictment to allow him additional time to prepare to meet the new charges was without merit. Accordingly, the court affirmed the judgment.
