Text: In a non-precedential memorandum opinion filed on March 27, 2000, we addressed several issues raised by Reginald Greene, the appellant in this case. Greene was charged with violating the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO), 18 U.S.C.S 1962(c) (Count One); RICO Conspiracy, in violation of 18 U.S.C. S 1962(d) (Count Two); bank fraud, in violation of 18 U.S.C. S 1344 (Counts Three through Seventeen); money laundering, in violation of 18 U.S.C. S 1957 (Counts Eighteen through Thirty-One); and forfeiture. Greene entered into an agreement with the government, whereby he entered a plea of guilty to Counts One and Two. On appeal, Greene raised several challenges to his sentence, which we rejected. In a motion filed on April 5, 2000, the government requested that we publish our memorandum opinion to clarify how U.S.S.G. S 2F1.1(b)(7)(B)1 should be interpreted. We decline to publish the entire memorandum opinion, but will address in this for-publication opinion the question of whether Section 2F1.1(b)(7)(B)'s sentencing enhancement for an offense affecting a financial institution, in which the defendant derives more than $1 million in gross receipts from the offense, requires that the defendant defraud any single financial institution of that amount. Our _________________________________________________________________ 1. This provision was previously incorporated as U.S.S.G. S 2F1.1(b)(6)(B), but was changed to 2F1.1(b)(7)(B) effective Nov. 1, 1998. 2 memorandum opinion of March 27, 2000, will remain on file, disposing of Greene's additional arguments on appeal.2
