Cleveland v. United States (2000)

''Cleveland v. United States'', , was a United States Supreme Court case decided in 2000. The case concerned the definition of "property" under the federal mail fraud statute. In a unanimous decision, the Court held that "property" for the purposes of federal law did not include state video poker licences because such transactions were not a vested ''right'' or expectation.
==Background==
The federal mail fraud statute proscribes the use of the mails in furtherance of "any scheme or artifice to defraud" as illegal activity. Part of the statute indicates that such schemes relating to "obtaining money or property" by false pretenses is covered.〔 Carl W. Cleveland was prosecuted under the statute. The state alleged Cleveland had deceived another company relating to video poker license renewals. Before trial, he unsuccessfully attempted to get the charges dismissed. A jury later found him guilty and he was sentenced to over 100 months in prison. Cleveland appealed.
The Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed the conviction and sentence, holding that "property" did in fact include video poker licenses in the "hands of the state".〔 After a series of appellate courts split on this issue, the Supreme Court granted certiorari.
