United States v. Buoi, No. 22-1518 (1st Cir. 2023)
Annotate this Case
The First Circuit affirmed the judgment of the district court convicting Defendant, following a jury trial, of four counts of wire fraud, in violation of 18 U.S.C. 1343, and one count of making false statements to a financial institution, in violation of 18 U.S.C. 1014, holding that Defendant was not entitled to relief on his claims of error.
Specifically, the First Circuit held (1) there was sufficient evidence presented to the jury of Defendant's intent to defraud for his wire convictions; (2) there was sufficient evidence of Defendant's intent to influence a financial institution; and (3) there was no adequate record with which to determine the effectiveness of counsel's decisions, and therefore, Defendant's ineffective assistance of counsel claims were dismissed without prejudice.
