United States First Circuit
US v. Hersom, 10-1555
In an appeal from a judgment of the district court denying defendant's motion to withdraw his guilty plea to arson of a building owned by an organization receiving federal financial assistance, 18 U.S.C. § 844(f), judgment is affirmed where the present participle "receiving" as used in the statute applies to benefits derived from the continuous use of federal funds such that subject building fell within Section 844(f) even though all the federal funds lent to its owner had been disbursed.
