UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS
FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT
No. 10-5265
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
Plaintiff - Appellee,
v.
OLU CAMPBELL, a/k/a Oluseun Oshosanya,
Defendant - Appellant.
Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of
Maryland, at Baltimore. Marvin J. Garbis, Senior District
Judge. (1:09-cr-00628-MJG-2)
Submitted: May 22, 2012 Decided: June 6, 2012
Before WILKINSON, KING, and DIAZ, Circuit Judges.
Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.
Howard Margulies, LAW OFFICE OF HOWARD MARGULIES, Columbia,
Maryland, for Appellant. Rod J. Rosenstein, United States
Attorney, Jefferson M. Gray, Assistant United States Attorney,
Baltimore, Maryland, for Appellee.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
Olu Campbell appeals his conviction by jury of six
counts of wire fraud for his participation in a scheme that
fraudulently obtained home mortgage loans from a Maryland
mortgage lending company, Landmark Funding LLC (“Landmark”).
Campbell’s lone contention on appeal is that the district court
erred in refusing to give the jury his proposed instruction
pertaining to Landmark’s willful blindness.
The decision to give or refuse a jury instruction is
reviewed for abuse of discretion. United States v. Green,
599
F.3d 360, 377 (4th Cir. 2010). The failure to give a requested
theory of defense instruction is reversible error “only if the
instruction (1) was correct, (2) was not substantially covered
by the court’s charge to the jury, and (3) dealt with some point
in the trial so important that the failure to give the requested
instruction seriously impaired the defendant’s ability to
conduct his defense.” Id. at 378 (quotation marks omitted). We
have thoroughly examined the record in light of Campbell’s
assertions and conclude without difficulty that the district
court’s refusal to give the requested instruction was not an
abuse of its discretion.
Accordingly, we affirm the judgment of the district
court. We dispense with oral argument because the facts and
legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials
2
before the court and argument will not aid the decisional
process.
AFFIRMED
