Judgment of USCA — USA v. PAIVA (Dkt. 58, N.D. Fla.)

Summary

An unpublished per curiam opinion of the United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit in United States v. Louis Paiva, Jr., No. 23-11561, dated July 19, 2023 and filed on the district court docket as Document 58 in Case 4:22-cr-00031-MW-MAL. The panel of Circuit Judges Rosenbaum, Jill Pryor and Luck reviews Paiva's argument that the district court plainly erred in accepting his guilty plea to theft of public money under 18 U.S.C. section 641 because he qualified for the pandemic unemployment benefits. Reviewing for plain error, the court finds no clear and obvious error, reasoning that Paiva had a full-time job, that nothing showed he was actively seeking work under 15 U.S.C. § 9025(a)(2), and that he was not unemployed under Fla. Stat. § 443.091(1). The judgment is AFFIRMED.
