Opinion
Lead Opinion
Thompson, J.
Thomas Michael McCormick and Tracy L. McCormick appeal their convictions for a number of offenses arising out of the creation and use of the identity “Michael Parris Boner”. A jury convicted both of the McCor-micks of bankruptcy fraud, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 152 . Thomas alone was convicted of: (1) fraudulent use of a social security number, in violation of 42 U.S.C. § 408 (g)(1); (2) use of a false identification document, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1028 (a)(4); (3) access device fraud, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1029 (a)(1); (4) false statement to a bank, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1014 ; and (5) making a false statement in a passport application, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1542 .
We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291 . We affirm all the convictions of Thomas Michael McCormick, and we reverse the conviction of Tracy L. McCormick.
