U.S. v. Arojojoye

Federal 7th Circuit Court
Criminal Court
Identity Theft
Citation
Case Number: 
No. 13-2224
Decision Date: 
June 3, 2014
Federal District: 
N.D. Ill., E. Div.
Holding: 
Affirmed
Record contained sufficient evidence to support defendant’s guilty plea on charge of aggravated identity theft, even though defendant argued that he did not admit to knowing that identity he was using belonged to actual person, where defendant admitted during plea colloquy and during sentencing hearing to possessing vital information belonging to specifically named individual. Also, while Dist. Ct. erred in using sentencing guidelines in effect at time of sentencing, rather than at time of instant offense, any error was harmless, where Dist. Ct. indicated that it would have imposed same sentence under either guideline.
