Supreme Court of Colorado

Felix Montes-Rodriguez, Petitioner v. the People of the State of Colorado, Respondent — Coats, J., Dissenting

October 25, 2010241 P.3d 924

Summary

Justice Coats dissented from the majority's reversal of the defendant's criminal-impersonation conviction. He would have held that deliberately providing another person's, or an unassigned, social security number in a credit transaction constitutes assuming a false or fictitious identity because the number uniquely identifies an individual and is used to obtain credit fraudulently.
