United States Eleventh Circuit

A conviction for unlawful production of a state commercial driver's license (CDL) is affirmed where defendant's intent in fraudulently obtaining the CDL was clearly to illegally operate a commercial vehicle, which would sufficiently affect interstate commerce. However, defendant's conviction for conspiracy to defraud the United States is reversed where the United States was not the target of defendant's crime.
