7^th Circuit Court of Appeals

Case Name: United States of America v. Salvatore Picardi

Case No.: 19-1043

Officials: ROVNER, SCUDDER, and ST. EVE, Circuit Judges.

Focus: Sentencing Guidelines

A jury found Salvatore Picardi guilty of one count of embezzlement by an officer or employee of the United States, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 654. The district court sentenced Picardi to a term of eight months’ imprisonment and a fine of $100,000. On appeal, Picardi objects to the amount of the fine and to the adequacy of the district court’s explanation for imposing an above-Guidelines fine. Because Picardi waived any argument regarding the fine, we dismiss the appeal.

Dismissed
