Text: 51 STF, like Grumman, purchased fasteners from Rice. Declarations of STF's president and an FBI agent indicate that STF purchased at least thirteen lots of Rice-supplied fasteners which were accompanied by false test reports. The district court awarded STF restitution for these fasteners. 52 Rice argues that the STF award was improper because STF was not named in the government's information. United States v. Angelica, 951 F.2d 1007, 1009 (9th Cir.1991). According to Rice, STF is not a victim within the then-existing version of the VWPA. 5 53 We disagree. Angelica did not hold that only victims specifically named in the indictment may recover restitution; the case simply applied Hughey and found that the particular victims at issue were not victims of acts underlying the offense of conviction. 951 F.2d at 1009. While the court referred to victims not named in the indictment, this language does not create a per se rule that restitution is limited to victims specifically named in the indictment. Here, Rice pled guilty to reprocessing some 7.5 million fasteners and selling them to various companies. STF is one of these companies. It is therefore a victim of Rice's offense. 54
