The petition of the day is:
17-1314
Issue: Whether, in a federal fraud prosecution involving a private victim, materiality turns on the misrepresentation’s ability to influence the actual decisionmaker to which it was addressed, as three circuits have held, or instead on its ability to influence a hypothetical “reasonable person,” as six circuits have held.
