US v. Yates, No. 18-30183 (10-8-21)(Berzonw/Miller; Bress dissenting). A majority of the 9th held that a conspiracy for bank fraud and false entry had to be vacated because the theory of a duty to accurate information was too an ethereal theory for a conviction. The other conviction had to be vacated for insufficient evidence. 

Dissenting, Bress would find the convictions supported prior precept.

Congrats to Elizabeth Daly and Steve Sady, Ore FPD (Portland).
