John B. Levy appeals from the district court’s denial of his petition for a writ of coram nobis. He contends that his conviction violated Cleveland v. United States, 531 U.S. 12,121 S.Ct. 365,148 L.Ed.2d 221 (2000), because the Government’s theory of the case was that he committed fraud in seeking and obtaining a license to operate an insurance company. Levy also contends that his disbarment is a continuing consequence of his conviction and that his coram nobis petition should not be barred by the doctrine of laches.

Levy’s superseding indictment alleged that he participated in a series of false representations and fraudulent transactions to gain regulatory approval to purchase an insurance company, then to pilfer that company’s assets in violation of an order of the Insurance Commission. The superseding indictment alleged that the Insurance Commission and the citizens of Louisiana were defrauded by Levy. However, the fraud alleged in the indictment included actual financial gain to Levy through fraudulent transactions, some of which were designed to evade regulatory scrutiny. Levy does not dispute that fraudulent acquisition of a company’s assets is within the scope of the federal fraud statutes. He has not demonstrated that his conviction violated Cleveland and therefore has not shown that the district court erred by denying petition for coram nobis relief. See United States v. Esogbue, 357 F.3d 532, 533, 535 (5th Cir. 2004).

AFFIRMED.
