044151P.pdf 08/01/2005 United States v. Denise M. Henderson
U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 04-4151
District of Minnesota
[PUBLISHED] [Benton, Author, with Riley and Bowman, Circuit
Judges]
Criminal case - criminal law. Evidence was sufficient to support
convictions for wire fraud and Social Security fraud; district court did not
err in refusing to dismiss or stay the criminal case in deference to parallel
administrative proceedings before the Social Security Administration;
challenge to indictment rejected; evidence of defendant's business and
travel activities and her participation in pageants was relevant to show
she misrepresented her condition and was properly admitted; court's
instruction on materiality of defendant's statements was proper; court's
decision to impose an enhancement for obstruction of justice was
harmless error as the sentence imposed fell within the guideline range
which would have applied without the enhancement; search warrant was
not overbroad.
