HORNBY, District Judge.

Alvin Dennison, who sells seafood from his truck at roadside, pleaded guilty to one count of food stamp fraud, 7 U.S.C. § 2024(b)(1). He admitted that he defrauded the federal food stamp program by permitting customers who were food stamp users to obtain cash in exchange for their stamps and pocketing some of the cash himself.
