UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
Plaintiff-Appellee
v.
ROSE M CROSBY
Defendant-Appellant
Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Southern District of Mississippi
USDC No. 1:06-CR-130-1
Before JOLLY, DENNIS, and PRADO, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Rose M. Crosby appeals her jury convictions for filing fraudulent claims
against the United States, making false statements to the United States, theft
of public money, and mail fraud. She argues that the district court erred in
denying her proposed jury instruction regarding good faith. The district court’s
instructions on the meaning of the terms “willfully” and “knowingly” were
sufficient to substantially cover the defense of good faith as to every count of
Crosby’s indictment. See United States v. Giraldi, 86 F.3d 1368, 1376 (5th Cir.

1996); United States v. Dillman, 15 F.3d 384, 393 (5th Cir. 1994). The jury
charge as a whole properly stated the applicable law, and Crosby was able to
argue her defense of good faith to the jury. See Giraldi, 86 F.3d at 1376;
Dillman, 15 F.3d at 393. The district court’s denial of Crosby’s proposed
instruction on good faith was not an abuse of discretion. See Giraldi, 86 F.3d at
1376.
AFFIRMED.
