United States v. Peter Salvatory Mosha

*640 PER CURIAM. Peter Salvatory Mosha appeals the district court’s 1 judgment following a jury verdict finding him guilty of making a false claim of citizenship for the purpose of unlawfully gaining employment, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1015(e). Mosha was sentenced to “time served,” or 248 days in prison. Counsel has moved to withdraw, and filed a brief under Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S.Ct. 1396, 18 L.Ed.2d 493 (1967), challenging the sufficiency of the evidence. This court reviews the sufficiency of the evidence de novo, viewing the evidence in the light most favorable to the guilty verdict, resolving conflicts in favor of the government, and accepting all reasonable inferences that support the jury’s verdict. See United States v. Causevic, 636 F.3d 998,1005 (8th Cir.2011). The testimony of former Hardee’s Manager Lori Thor— whose credibility was for the jury to decide — that Mosha indicated he was a United States citizen on the 1-9 employment eligibility form, combined with evidence establishing he was not, was sufficient to support the conviction. See 18 U.S.C. § 1015(e) (penalizing individual for knowingly making “any false statement or claim that he is, or at any time has been, a citizen or national of the United States, with the intent ... to engage unlawfully in employment in the United States”); United States v. Keys, 721 F.3d 512, 519-20 (8th Cir.2013) (reviewing court must assume jury found credible witness testimony that was favorable to verdict), cert. denied, — U.S.-, 134 S.Ct. 1011, 187 L.Ed.2d 858 (2014). This court has reviewed the record independently under Penson v. Ohio, 488 U.S. 75, 80, 109 S.Ct. 346,102 L.Ed.2d 300 (1988), and has found no nonfrivolous issues for appeal. The judgment is affirmed, and counsel’s motion to withdraw is granted. Footnotes [1] The Honorable Patrick A. Conmy, United States District Judge for the District of North Dakota.
