United States v. Otuya, No. 12-4096 (4th Cir. 2013)
Annotate this CaseDefendant, convicted of charges stemming from his involvement in a scheme to defraud Bank of America, appealed his convictions and sentence. The court concluded that the district court did not err in admitting evidence found in defendant's backpack; the court affirmed defendant's conviction for aggravated identity theft based on the plain meaning of the statute; and there was no sentencing error in imposing a twelve-level enhancement under U.S.S.G. 2B1.1(b)(1)(G) on the ground that defendant's offense involved an intended loss amount in excess of $200,000, a four-level enhancement for a crime having fifty or more victims under U.S.S.G. 2B1.1(b)(2)(B), and a three level-enhancement for defendant's aggravated role as a manager or supervisor of the offense under U.S.S.G. 3B1.1(b). Accordingly, the court affirmed the judgment.
