No. 97-30299.

147 F.3d 1101 (1998)

UNITED STATES of America, Plaintiff-Appellee, v. Susan Carol FITZGERALD, Defendant-Appellant.

United States Court of Appeals, Ninth Circuit.

Decided June 29, 1998.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Daniel Donovan, Assistant Federal Defender, Great Falls, MT, for defendant-appellant.

Lorie Harper (argument), and Carl E. Rostad (brief), Assistant United States Attorneys, Great Falls, MT, for plaintiff-appellee.

Before: LAY, PREGERSON, and GRABER, Circuit Judges.


PREGERSON, Circuit Judge:

Defendant Susan Carol Fitzgerald appeals the district court's denial of her motion to dismiss an indictment charging her with federal benefits disability fraud in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1920. Fitzgerald argues that she was not expressly required by statute to report her earnings from other sources. Because we hold that § 1920 requires that disability claimants file truthful reports of earnings, we affirm.
