Order — United States v. Feroz Jalal (7th Cir.)

Summary

A nonprecedential order of the United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit in United States of America v. Feroz Jalal, No. 25-1313, decided December 31, 2025 and filed as Document 26, on appeal from the Northern District of Illinois, No. 1:23-CR-00369(1). Chief Judge Michael B. Brennan and Circuit Judges Diane S. Sykes and Rebecca Taibleson affirm Jalal's below-guidelines sentence of 62 months' imprisonment after guilty pleas to bank fraud and money laundering under 18 U.S.C. §§ 1344, 1956(a)(1)(B)(i). The order recounts that Jalal participated in submitting at least 11 PPP loan applications with fraudulent information, with approximately $1.644 million distributed, and a guidelines range of 70 to 87 months. It rejects challenges to the manager or supervisor increase under U.S.S.G. § 3B1.1(b), sentencing disparities and reliance on the guidelines.
