United States v. Mobley

OPINION

McKEAGUE, Circuit Judge.

Stephen Michael Mobley, Jr., who pled guilty to both conspiracy to commit mail, wire, and bank fraud and aggravated identity theft, appeals, arguing that the district court lacked the factual basis required under Fed.R.Crim.P. 11(b)(3) to enter judgment on his plea as to aggravated identity theft. As the court had sufficient factual basis to conclude that Mobley used his wife’s social security number to submit fraudulent credit applications “during and in relation to” the requisite predicate crime of wire fraud, we affirm Mobley’s conviction.
