Description
FOR PUBLICATION Argued and Submitted August 8, 2003-Pasadena, California Opinion by Judge Tallman; Dissent by Judge Noonan OPINION Fatima Peyton was tried and convicted of access device fraud in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1029(a)(1) and (2) and sentenced to 15 months imprisonment for her role in an identity theft ring. Following a successful appeal, in which we reversed six of the eight counts of conviction, Peyton was resentenced to 30 months. She now appeals the resentencing, asserting that: (1) the district judge acted vindictively by doubling her sentence; (2) the district court applied an improper evidentiary standard to evidence proffered in support of sentencing factors; and (3) insufficient evidence existed to apply the sentencing enhancements for accountable loss, obstruction of justice, and abuse of a position of trust.
