v.
WILLIAM F PRITCHARD, JR
Defendant-Appellant
Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Western District of Louisiana
USDC No. 6:04-CR-60063-2
Before HIGGINBOTHAM, DENNIS, and PRADO, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
William F. Pritchard, Jr., appeals from his sentence following his guilty
plea conviction for conspiracy to traffic in unauthorized sound recordings of live
musical performances. He argues that the district court erred by ordering him
to pay restitution to the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). He
contends that the Government failed to prove by a preponderance of the evidence
that the RIAA was an identifiable victim that suffered any actual pecuniary loss
*
Pursuant to 5 TH C IR. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion
should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited
circumstances set forth in 5 TH C IR. R. 47.5.4.
No. 08-30263
resulting from his conduct. Pritchard stipulated in his plea agreement that he
was liable for restitution to the RIAA under 18 U.S.C. § 3663A. In light of this
stipulation, the district court did not err in ordering Pritchard to pay restitution
to the RIAA. See § 3663A(a)(1), (3).
Accordingly, the district court’s judgment is AFFIRMED.
