The People of the State of Colorado v. Jesus Rodriguez-Morelos.

Summary

The court held that Colorado's identity-theft statute does not treat a nonprofit organization's name or tax-exempt document as personal identifying information because that category is limited to information used to identify a specific human being. Although organizations may be protected victims when a defendant uses their financial identifying information or financial device, the evidence did not establish the statutory form of identity theft charged here. The court therefore affirmed the court of appeals' judgment vacating the identity-theft conviction.
