Description
The Defendant, Norman Hartsel, was convicted in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Ohio of mail fraud, 28 U.S.C. §1341, and aiding and abetting the embezzlement of funds of a labor organization, 29 U.S.C. §501(c). On appeal, Hartsel asserts that the district court erred in finding the receipt of mailed bank statements constituted a use of the mails under the mail fraud statute, and in concluding the embezzled funds were the funds of a labor organization. Hartsel also contends that the district court erred in denying his motion for recusal. Because we find that the receipt of the bank statements failed to satisfy the use of the mail requirement under the facts of this case, we must reverse the mail fraud conviction. However, in all other respects, we affirm the decision of the District Court.
