United States v. Fidse, No. 16-50250 (5th Cir. 2017)
Annotate this CaseThe Fifth Circuit affirmed defendant's sentence for conspiring to obstruct an agency proceeding and conspiring to make false statements to the executive branch in a terrorism investigation. The court held that the district court did not clearly err by applying a sentencing enhancement under USSG 3A1.4, because defendant's offense was a felony that involved, or was intended to promote, a federal crime of terrorism. In this case, the district court found that the Task Force was specifically investigating a possible conspiracy to violate 18 U.S.C. 2339A and 2339B.
