173683P.pdf   12/03/2018  United States  v.  Lony Gatwas
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  17-3683
   U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Iowa - Des Moines   
[PUBLISHED] [Loken, Author, with Benton and Shepherd, Circuit Judges] Criminal case - Criminal law. The district court did not err in interpreting the term "uses, without lawful authority" in finding defendant guilty on seven counts of aggravated identity theft under 18 U.S.C. Sec. 1028A(a)(1); when defendant used the names and social security number of actual children, including his own, during and in relation to his wire fraud, whether the minor consented to the use was irrelevant; the court did not err in rejecting an instruction incorporating defendant's rejected interpretation of the statute.
