United States v. Pfluger, No. 11-10747 (5th Cir. 2012)
Annotate this CaseDefendant was indicted for frauds Defendant committed while serving as a Lieutenant Colonel in the U.S. Army in Iraq. Defendant entered a conditional guilty plea, reserving his right to appeal the denial of his motion to dismiss the indictment based on the expiration of the statute of limitations. Defendant's appeal dealt with a minimally developed area of law, the applicability of the Wartime Suspension of Limitations Act, which suspends the running of the statute of limitations for certain crimes when the United States is at war. The Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed, holding that the Act applied to Defendant and, accordingly, that the Government's indictment in this case was valid.
