United States v. Gonzalez-Martinez, No. 15-1318 (1st Cir. 2016)
Annotate this CaseAfter a jury trial, Defendant was convicted of twenty-two counts of theft of government property and one count of aggravated identity theft. Defendant appealed, arguing that the evidence was insufficient to support her convictions and that the district court abused its discretion in denying her request to continue her trial to a later date due to the issuance of a superseding indictment only ten days before trial. The First Circuit affirmed, holding (1) there was sufficient evidence to support Defendant’s convictions; and (2) the district court did not abuse its discretion in denying Defendant’s request to continue her trial to a later date because Defendant failed to identify any concrete respect in which she was harmed by the denial of her request for a continuance.
The court issued a subsequent related opinion or order on September 23, 2016.
