Rodriquez v. Commonwealth

Court of Appeals of Virginia

1Opinion of the Court

COLEMAN, Senior Judge.

Ivan Rodriquez appeals his convictions for two counts of forging a public document and two counts of uttering a forged public document. 1 Rodriquez argues the evidence was insufficient to support the convictions because, although he gave his brother’s name to a police officer who was issuing traffic summonses to him, he signed his own name on the summonses and he did not falsely make or materially alter any writing. Accordingly, he contends he neither forged a signature nor made a false document. We disagree and affirm his convictions.
