   U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota - St. Paul   
[PUBLISHED] [Colloton, Author, with Kelly and Erickson, Circuit Judges] Criminal case - Criminal law and sentencing. Evidence was sufficient to support defendants Sayonkon's and Samaan's convictions for conspiracy to commit bank fraud, and there was no variance between the indictment for a single conspiracy and the proof at trial; police search of a motel's guest registry did not violate Samaan's Fourth Amendment rights as he had no legitimate expectation of privacy in the identification card he provided at registration; evidence was sufficient to support defendant Samaan's conviction for aggravated identity theft; when an offender knowingly uses a means of identification of another person, the phrase "another person," includes both the living and the dead, and the government is not obligated to prove the person whose identity was stolen was living; no error in applying a leadership role enhancement in sentencing defendant Sayonkon; the district court properly calculated the amount of loss for sentencing defendant Samaan; defendant Sesay's below-guidelines sentence was not substantively unreasonable.
