United States v. Gevorgyan, No. 16-20730 (5th Cir. 2018)
Annotate this CaseThe Fifth Circuit affirmed defendant's conviction of healthcare fraud and violating the Anti-Kickback Statute. The court held that there was sufficient evidence to convict defendant of violating the Anti-Kickback Statute because the jury could have found that defendant was aware of the nature and purpose of the kickback payments he made to a codefendant. The court also held that the evidence was sufficient underlying defendant's healthcare fraud convictions where the facts taken together supported the jury's determination that defendant knew of the clinic's healthcare fraud. Finally, the court held that the district court did not plainly err in deciding not to sever defendant's case.
