UNITED STATES V. DYKES
24 Fed.Appx. 718 (9th Cir. 2001)
NATURE OF THE CASE: This was an appeal by Dykes (D) on a conviction for blackmail.
FACTS: D was employed by FAIS. D was a British citizen and needed a J-1 visa to work for
FAIS. FAIS decided to fire D and advised her to return to England as her J-1 visa would be
invalid. D was outraged and responded with a long letter that threatened to turn FAIS in to
a number of authorities unless she got her full salary of $40,000 and $20,000 extra for the
damages caused. D was tried and convicted of blackmail. D appealed.
