United States v. Zech

Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit

Decided January 27, 2009No. 08-2013PublishedCited by 8 opinions

1Per curiam

Appellant Linda Zech received a 63-month sentence after pleading guilty to one count of financial-institution fraud, 18 U.S.C. § 1344, and one count of money laundering, 18 U.S.C. § 1956. In this appeal, Zech challenges her sentence, arguing that the district court 1 miscalculated her Guidelines range by (1) determining that her conduct substantially jeopardized the safety and soundness of a financial institution and (2) increasing her offense level as the result of impermissible double counting. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291 and 18 U.S.C. § 3742, and we affirm.
