United States Eleventh Circuit
US v. Patterson, 09-13354
Defendant's sentence for possessing a counterfeit state security is affirmed where: 1) it was not error for the district court to sentence defendant under a Sentencing Guidelines calculation of intended loss that was more than double the amount of restitution ordered in the same case; and 2) the record was not sufficiently developed to support a claim of ineffective assistance of counsel and a collateral attack is the preferable avenue for such challenges.
