No. 08-12266.

611 F.3d 734 (2010)

UNITED STATES of America, Plaintiff-Appellee, v. Wilton Joseph FONTENOT, Defendant-Appellant.

United States Court of Appeals, Eleventh Circuit.

July 13, 2010.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

William Mallory Kent, Law Office of William Mallory Kent, Jacksonville, FL, for Fontenot.

Karen L. Stevens and Diana Katherine Flynn, App.-Civ. Rights, Stuart S. Nickum, OIL, U.S. Dept. of Justice, Washington, DC, for U.S.

Before TJOFLAT, BARKETT and KRAVITCH, Circuit Judges.

TJOFLAT, Circuit Judge:

Wilton Fontenot appeals his conviction under 18 U.S.C. § 1519 for making a false entry in a document with the intent to impede an investigation within the jurisdiction of a United States agency. Fontenot claims that, to convict under § 1519, the Government must prove he knew the investigation would be a federal investigation. Finding this claim without merit under plain error review, we affirm Fontenot's conviction.
