- 16 - 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.

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).Page: Previous 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 Next
