Court Also Addresses Case Dealing with Evasion of Reporting Requirements

US v. Peterson, No. 09-4166, concerned a conviction of defendant for structuring transactions to evade reporting requirements set forth in 31 U.S.C. section 5313(a).  In affirming the district court’s imposition of a two-level enhancement pursuant to section 2S1.3(b)(2) of the sentencing guidelines to defendant’s sentence, the court held that the district court did not err in determining that defendant’s structuring offense was committed as part of a pattern of unlawful activity involving more than $100,000 in a twelve-month period, and as a result, the safe harbor of section 2S1.3(b) did not apply.
