                 TITLE 18--CRIMES AND CRIMINAL PROCEDURE
 
                             PART I--CRIMES
 
                    CHAPTER 101--RECORDS AND REPORTS
 
Sec. 2076. Clerk of United States District Court

    Whoever, being a clerk of a district court of the United States, 
willfully refuses or neglects to make or forward any report, 
certificate, statement, or document as required by law, shall be fined 
under this title or imprisoned not more than one year, or both.

(June 25, 1948, ch. 645, 62 Stat. 796; Pub. L. 104-294, title VI, 
Sec. 601(a)(11), Oct. 11, 1996, 110 Stat. 3498.)


                      Historical and Revision Notes

    Based on section 522 of title 28, U.S.C., 1940 ed., Judicial Code 
and Judiciary (Feb. 22, 1875, ch. 95, Sec. 6, 18 Stat. 334).
    The reference to the offense as a misdemeanor was omitted as 
unnecessary in view of the definition of ``misdemeanor'' in section 1 of 
this title.
    The last sentence providing that conviction should not be a 
condition precedent to removal from office was omitted as unnecessary.
    Minor changes were made in phraseology.


                               Amendments

    1996--Pub. L. 104-294 substituted ``fined under this title or 
imprisoned not more than one year, or both'' for ``fined not more than 
$1,000 or imprisoned not more than one year'' before period at end.
