U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 17-3279
U.S. District Court for the District of South Dakota - Aberdeen
[PUBLISHED] [Loken, Author, with Wollman and Erickson, Circuit Judges]
Criminal case - Criminal law. Evidence was sufficient to support
defendant's conviction for conspiracy to commit mail and wire fraud in
connection with receipt of cattle producer payments; the evidence was
insufficient to support his convictions for cashing two checks for grazing
services that were not provided during the 2012 grazing season and for
cashing three checks received in connection with the 2013 season; however,
the evidence was sufficient with respect to two counts related to the 2014
grazing season, and those mail and wire fraud convictions are affirmed;
remanded with directions to vacate the convictions and special assessments
on 5 of the wire and mail fraud counts.
