United States v. Mason, No. 10-10743 (5th Cir. 2013)
Annotate this Case
Defendants appealed their convictions and sentences stemming from their participation in a wide-ranging mortgage fraud scheme. The court concluded that the district court plainly erred in including the amount of loss from the Appalachian transaction in Defendant Andrews' mandatory restitution order. Accordingly, the court affirmed Andrews' conviction but vacated the forfeiture and restitution component of his sentence. On remand, the district court should limit Andrews' restitution order to the amount of loss suffered as a result of the Creek Bend transaction, excluding any proceeds associated with the Appalachian transaction. The court affirmed the convictions and sentences as to the remaining defendants.
