UNITED STATES v. KWUSHUE (2018)

United States Court of Appeals, Eleventh Circuit.

UNITED STATES of America, Plaintiff - Appellee, v. Samuel KWUSHUE, Defendant - Appellant.

No. 16-15683

Decided: August 22, 2018

Before WILSON and NEWSOM, Circuit Judges, and WRIGHT,* District Judge.

Samir Kaushal, John Andrew Horn, Lawrence R. Sommerfeld, Trevor Clifford Wilmot, U.S. Attorney's Office, Atlanta, GA, for Plaintiff-Appellee Amy Levin Weil, The Weil Firm, Atlanta, GA, for Defendant-Appellant

Samuel Kwushue appeals his convictions, 51-month sentence of imprisonment, and restitution of $5,249,958.57 for eight counts of wire fraud in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1343. He argues that the district court erred in determining the loss amount and restitution for his food-stamp fraud scheme, applying a four-level enhancement for an aggravating role in the offense, and finding a proper factual basis that he used interstate wires to perpetrate a scheme to defraud. After a careful review of the briefs and the record, and having the benefit of oral argument, we find no error.

AFFIRMED.
