United States v. Alejandro

229 F. App'x 318

Opinion

PER CURIAM: *

Bruno Aejandro, Jr., appeals his sentence following his guüty plea to one count of conspiracy to commit bank fraud. Aejandro argues that the district court abused its discretion by ordering him to pay restitution for the total amount of loss attributable to the conspiracy. We review an award of restitution for an abuse of discretion. United States v. Hughey, 147 F.3d 423, 436 (5th Cir.1998) (citing United States v. Chaney, 964 F.2d 437, 451 (5th Cir.1992)). The district court properly relied on the presentence report (PSR) which stated that Aejandro was involved “throughout the scheme” and “benefitted equally” with the two other leaders of the conspiracy. See United States v. Lghodaro, 967 F.2d 1028, 1030 (5th Cir.1992). Accordingly, the district court did not abuse its discretion in ordering Aejandro to pay the full amount of the restitution order.

AFFIRMED.

* Pursuant to 5th Cir. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5th Cir. R. 47.5.4.
