United States v. Kathy Stamps

U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit November 15, 2012

United States v. Kathy Stamps, 492 F. App'x 825 (9th Cir. 2012)

Opinion

MEMORANDUM *

Kathy Stamps argues that we must vacate her conviction for three counts of mail fraud because the prosecutor failed to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the United States had a property interest in the money she stole. But the prosecutor wasn’t required to prove ownership of the funds as an element of the offense. See United States v. Crawford, 239 F.3d 1086, 1092-93 & n. 6 (9th Cir. 2001). We therefore conclude that the government presented sufficient evidence to support the conviction.

AFFIRMED.

This disposition isn't appropriate for publication and isn't precedent except as provided by 9 th Cir. R. 36-3.
