United States First Circuit

Conviction and sentencing of defendant for aggravated identity theft, 18 U.S.C. section 1028A, are upheld because defendant's guilty plea did not violate Rule 11(b) where he purchase instead of stealing a passport, and where the imposition of an enhanced sentencing accounting for a nearly twenty-year-old conviction was not erroneous.
