Opinion
IN THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FIFTH CIRCUIT
No. 96-60560 Summary Calendar
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
Plaintiff-Appellee,
versus
KENNETH EDWARD GRIZZLE,
Defendant-Appellant.
- - - - - - - - - - Appeal from the United States District Court for the Southern District of Mississippi USDC No. 1:95-CR-37GR - - - - - - - - - - October 3, 1997 Before JONES, SMITH and STEWART, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Kenneth Edward Grizzle appeals his conviction and sentence
for making false statements to obtain benefits under the
Longshore and Harbor Workers’ Compensation Act, in violation of
33 U.S.C. § 931. Grizzle challenges the sufficiency of the
evidence, the sufficiency of the indictment, the district court’s
determination of the applicable loss, and the court’s imposition
of restitution. Our review of the record and the arguments and
authorities convinces us that no reversible error was committed.
* Pursuant to 5TH CIR. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR. R. 47.5.4. No. 96-60560 -2-
The evidence was not insufficient. See United States v. Ivey,
949 F.2d 759, 766(5th Cir. 1991). The indictment sufficiently
informed Grizzle of the charges against him and of the elements
of the charged crime. See United States v. Fitzgerald,
89 F.3d 218, 221(5th Cir.), cert. denied,
117 S. Ct. 446(1996).
Grizzle has not shown that the district court clearly erred in
determining that the amount of the loss attributable to Grizzle’s
conduct amounted to $48,400. See United States v. Tedder,
81 F.3d 549, 550(5th Cir. 1996). The district court did not abuse
its discretion by ordering Grizzle to pay $7,000 restitution in
35 equal monthly payments. See United States v. Reese,
998 F.2d 1275, 1282(5th Cir. 1993).
AFFIRMED.
