7th Circuit Court of Appeals
Case Name: United States of America v. John Thomas
Case No.: 15-2509
Officials: POSNER, FLAUM, and RIPPLE, Circuit Judges.
Focus: Sentencing – Conditions of Supervised Release
The defendant pleaded guilty to committing wire fraud, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1343, by submitting fraudulent invoices to an Illinois town (Riverdale), which reimbursed him for $374,000 claimed in the invoices but not owed him by the town. The district judge sentenced him to 60 months in prison to be followed by 36 months of supervised release. The appeal challenges the conditions of supervised release and not the prison sentence, but asks us to order a full resentencing of the defendant.
Reversed and remanded
