United States v. Stevens
United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit
909 F.2d 431 (1990)
- Written by Robert Cane, JD
Facts
Gary Stevens (defendant) was the sole stockholder and sole decision maker of several corporations that performed government contract work. The corporations were contracted by the US Navy to build a storage-and-retrieval system at a naval shipyard. The government (plaintiff) paid for the project as parts were completed. Stevens misrepresented the progress that had been made and the work that had been performed in several requests for payment. Stevens applied for loans at several federally insured banks, misrepresenting his income earned from the contract with the Navy. Stevens was convicted of conspiracy under 18 U.S.C. § 371. Stevens appealed to the United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit.
