United States v. Harvard

Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit

Decided January 8, 1997No. 95-40818PublishedCited by 25 opinions

1Opinion of the Court

EDITH H. JONES, Circuit Judge:

Appellant Jack C. Harvard appeals his convictions for conspiracy, bank fraud, misapplying bank funds, causing false bank entries to be made, and receiving a bribe for a bank transaction. The most difficult question he raises on appeal is whether 18 U.S.C. § 1005, which criminalizes the act of causing false bank entries to be made, embodies a requirement of materiality for an actual misstatement. We hold that it does not and affirm Harvard’s conviction on this and the other counts against him.
