United States Eleventh Circuit

Conviction for possessing a forged Alien Documentation Identification Telecommunication stamp is affirmed; 18 U.S.C. section 1546(a) does not require proof of willfulness; district court's interview with an allegedly uncooperative juror did not violate defendant's right to a jury trial; upward adjustment was proper, because counterfeit stamps facilitate fraudulently obtaining Social Security numbers.
