United States Eleventh Circuit

Conviction and sentence for knowingly making a false entry into a police incident report with the intent to impede, obstruct, or influence an FBI investigation is affirmed over defendant's claims that: 1) application of 18 U.S.C. section 1519 deprived him of due process because it did not place him on fair notice that his behavior was proscribed; 2) the evidence was insufficient to convict him under section 1519 because it showed that he simply made a misstatement in his report and did not knowingly make a false statement with the intent to hamper federal investigation; and 3) his sentence was unreasonable.
