Michael Hoover turned over 60 U.S. savings bonds to the U.S.
Attorney’s Office. The U.S. attorney turned over 277 U.S.
savings bonds to the District Court clerk’s office for
liquidation. The clerk of the District Court liquidated the U.S.
savings bonds and received proceeds of $236,925.60. On June 30,
1999, respondent served a notice of jeopardy levy on the clerk of
the District Court for the proceeds of the savings bonds minus
the restitution claims.
Petitioner appealed his conviction, sentence, and
restitution order to the Court of Appeals for the Seventh
Circuit. The Court of Appeals affirmed petitioner’s conviction
but modified the U.S. District Court’s restitution order, finding
that the District Court exceeded its authority when it ordered
petitioner to surrender savings bonds to pay his tax liability.
United States v. Hoover, 175 F.3d 564 (7th Cir. 1999).
Petitioner also appealed his contempt order to the Court of
Appeals for the Seventh Circuit, which affirmed the District
Court’s contempt order. United States v. Hoover, 240 F.3d 593
(7th Cir. 2001). Then petitioner sought a reversal of his
conviction and sentences for filing false Federal income tax
returns and making false statements on a student loan application
on the grounds that he received ineffective assistance of
counsel. The Court of Appeals affirmed petitioner’s conviction.
Hoover v. United States, 6 Fed. Appx. 414 (7th Cir. 2001).
