United States v. Kaufman, No. 14-3041 (D.C. Cir. 2015)
Annotate this Case
Defendant pled guilty to embezzling from an organization that received federal funds. On appeal, defendant challenged his sentence of 24-months in prison. Even if the district court’s loss calculation were erroneous, the court would not require it to reconsider petitioner’s
sentence; the court expressly stated that it would regard the same sentence as appropriate under either party’s calculation; and because that sentence is within-Guidelines, reasonable, and thoroughly explained, there is no warrant for a remand. Accordingly, the court affirmed the judgment.
