Appellant Charles Danny Harris appeals his conviction and sentence for fraudulent use of a Social Security number with intent to deceive, in violation of 42 U.S.C. § 408(a)(7)(B). Harris contends that his prosecution violated the terms of a pretrial diversion agreement, as well as his right to a speedy trial under the Speedy Trial Act and the Sixth Amendment, and, in any event, that the government offered insufficient evidence to sustain his conviction. For the reasons that follow, we affirm.
I. BACKGROUND
On January 5, 1997, Homewood, Alabama Police Sergeant Mara Sirles stopped a vehicle driven by Harris for emitting excessive and annoying smoke. When Sirles asked for Harris’s driver’s license, Harris instead produced three alternate forms of identification: an international driving permit, a government rate card, and an identification card, all of which were typewritten and appeared to be false. All the forms of identification contained Harris’s photograph, and two of them listed a Social Security number that was not assigned to Harris. The government rate card contained an obvious typographical error.
Wade Green, another Homewood police officer, arrived at the scene to assist Sirles. Green asked Harris if the information on the identification cards was correct, and Harris responded affirmatively. After Harris was arrested at the scene, on unrelated charges, Green inquired further as to whom the Social Security number on the identification cards belonged. Harris responded that “[h]e would rather not say. The old boy it belongs to in Arkansas wouldn’t appreciate it or wouldn’t appreciate knowing that I was using it.” [R. Vol. 3 at 89, 147; see also R. Vol. 1, Tab 15, Ex.] Ultimately, Green discovered that the Social Security number on the cards belonged to then-President William Jefferson Clinton.
Harris later admitted that he had obtained blank identification cards from a Louisiana mail-order company after his Tennessee driver’s license had been revoked for failure to pay numerous traffic citations. Harris laminated the cards after typing in his personal information as indicated, along with President Clinton’s Social Security number.
On January 15, 1997, a grand jury returned a one count indictment charging Harris with knowingly, willfully, and falsely representing to law enforcement that the Social Security number printed on the identification cards was the Social Security number assigned to him while knowing that it was not, in violation of 42 U.S.C. *1285 § 408(a)(7)(B). At his arraignment on January 23, 1997, Harris pled not guilty.
On January 28, 1997, Harris filed two motions to suppress evidence. 1 On February 27, 1997, while Harris’s pretrial motions were still pending, the government and Harris entered into an “Agreement for Pretrial Diversion” (the “Agreement”), wherein the government agreed to defer prosecution for 12 months, provided that Harris fulfilled all of the “Conditions of Pretrial Diversion” enumerated in the Agreement. [R. Vol. 1, Tab 20, Ex.] The first of these conditions provided: “You shall not violate any law (federal, state and local). You shall immediately contact your pretrial diversion supervisor if arrested and/or questioned by any law enforcement officer.”
The Agreement further stated, in two separate provisions:
Should you violate the conditions of this supervision, the United States Attorney may revoke or modify any conditions of this pretrial diversion program or change the period of supervision which shall in no case exceed 12 months.... The United States Attorney may at any time within the period of your supervision initiate prosecution for these offenses should you violate the conditions of this supervision and will furnish you with notice specifying the conditions of your program which you have violated.
If, upon completion of your period of supervision, a pretrial diversion report is received to the effect that you have complied with all the rules, regulations and conditions above mentioned, no prosecution for the offenses ... will be instituted in this District, and any indictment or information will be discharged.
In the Agreement, Harris also specifically agreed that
any delay from the date of this Agreement to the date of the initiation of prosecution, as provided for in the terms as expressed herein, shall be deemed to be a necessary delay at my request and I waive any defense to such prosecution on the ground that such delay operated to deny my rights under 48(b) of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure and the Sixth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States to a speedy trial....
In addition, the district court granted the government’s motion to treat the diversion period as excludable time for purposes of the Speedy Trial Act.
On February 10, 1998, the government sent Harris a letter informing him that it had learned that Harris was arrested in September 1997 and charged with multiple drug, alcohol, and traffic offenses. The government gave Harris 14 days to respond, and informed him that if he failed to timely respond, the government would request that his ease be placed back on the trial calendar.
Harris failed to timely respond to the letter, and the government moved to proceed to trial on March 20, 1998, approximately 23 days after the 12-month period of supervision ended. On September 21, 1998, the district court granted the government’s motion and set December 7, 1998, as the trial date.
On December 7, 1998, Harris filed a motion to dismiss the indictment which the district court orally denied the following day after a hearing on the matter. Then, *1286 following a hearing on December.9, 1998, the district court denied Harris’s still-pending suppression motions, which had been filed on January 28, 1997, and deferred until trial. On December 14, 1998, the district , court conducted voir dire and commenced trial. A jury found Harris guilty on December 15,1998.
On December 22, 1998, Harris filed a motion for judgment, of acquittal. This motion remained pending for more than three years. In the meantime, the district court sentenced Harris to seven months imprisonment, followed by three years of supervised release. Harris filed a timely notice of appeal, which the district court held pending entry of judgment. During this period, Harris remained free on bond.
On April 11, 2002, the district court denied Harris’s motion for judgment of acquittal. In a footnote in its order, the district court commented: “To say that this case fell through the cracks is a gross understatement. The court has no excuse and makes none for its failure to promptly decide this matter.” [R. Vol. 1, Tab 43 at 1 n.l.] The district court modified Harris’s sentence, in its own words, “to slightly ameliorate the harm done to defendant by the court’s inexcusable delay.” [R. Vol. 1, Tab 43 at 9.] With the concurrence of the government, the district court reduced Harris’s sentence to five months probation with a special condition that Harris serve four months home detention.
Harris has completed the conditions of his revised sentence, but nonetheless challenges his felony conviction.
II. ISSUES
1. Whether the government’s prosecution of Harris violated the terms of the pretrial diversion agreement.
2. Whether the delay in Harris’s prosecution violated his Sixth Amendment right to a speedy trial and his right under the Speedy Trial Act.
3. Whether the government’s evidence was sufficient to sustain a conviction under 42 U.S.C. § 408(a)(7)(B).
III. STANDARDS OF REVIEW
Whether the government has violated the terms of a pretrial diversion agreement is a question of law that this court reviews
de novo. See United States v. Nyhuis,
This court reviews
de novo
the district court’s denial of a criminal defendant’s motion to dismiss based upon his Sixth Amendment right to a speedy trial,
United States v. Schlei,
This court also reviews
de novo
the sufficiency of evidence supporting a conviction, but must view all evidence in the light most favorable to the government and must make all reasonable inferences and credibility choices in favor of the jury’s verdict.
United States v. Kent,
*1287 IV. ANALYSIS
A. The government did not breach Harris’s pretrial diversion agreement.
A pretrial diversion agreement is analogous to a plea bargain agreement.
See Warren,
This court interprets a plea agreement “in a manner that is sometimes likened to contractual interpretation.”
United States v. Jefferies,
To support his argument that the Agreement barred the government from initiating this prosecution, Harris relies exclusively on the language in the first provision, which authorizes the government to prosecute Harris during the diversion period in the event that he “violate[s] the conditions of this supervision.” Harris fails entirely, however, to address the second provision, which does not contain any time limitation, and which explicitly envisions that the government retains its right to prosecute Harris if it does not receive a favorable “pretrial diversion report” from his program supervisor “upon completion of [the] period of supervision.” Accepting Harris’s argument would render meaningless the language of the second provision because the government could not possibly receive such a favorable report of compliance until after the 12-month period had concluded.
Considering both provisions of the Agreement together, the district court therefore rejected Harris’s argument, supporting its analysis and conclusion with
United States v. Gogarty,
Relying on Gogarty, the district court concluded that these provisions were not ambiguous and did not preclude the government from initiating prosecution after the 12-month deferral period had expired. The district court stated:
The first [provision] merely puts the defendant on notice that if at any time during the period of supervision he violates the conditions of the agreement, the government may initiate prosecution after giving notice of the violation. The next [provision] further expands the ability of the government to prosecute if *1288 it does not receive notice of compliance with the terms of the agreement.
[R. Vol. 1, Tab 43 at 3.]
We agree with the district court and conclude that the government could have properly prosecuted Harris within the 12-month period, and it properly “prose-cut[ed] him after the 12-month period when no favorable report [was] received.”
3
See Gogarty,
Therefore, we hold that the government did not breach Harris’s pretrial diversion agreement based on the grounds identified in the district court’s well-reasoned opinion, including its reliance upon Gogarty. Accordingly, the only limitations on the government’s ability to prosecute pursuant to the Agreement are the Speedy Trial Act and the Sixth Amendment.
B. Harris’s right to a speedy trial under the Speedy Trial Act and the Sixth Amendment was not violated.
1. Speedy Trial Act
The Speedy Trial Act provides that:
[i]n any case in which a plea of not guilty is entered, the trial of a defendant ... shall commence within seventy days from the filing date ... of the ... indictment, or from the date the defendant has appeared before a judicial officer of the court in which such charge is pending, whichever date last occurs.
18 U.S.C. § 3161(c)(1). 4 However, the Act excludes from the computation of the 70 days “[a]ny period of delay resulting from other proceedings concerning the defendant, including but not limited to ... delay resulting from any pretrial motion, from the filing of the motion through the conclusion of the hearing on, or other prompt disposition of, such motion.” Id. § 3161(h)(1)(F). 5
*1289
Harris was arraigned on January 23, 1997, and filed pretrial suppression motions on January 28, 1997. The district court correctly found that the five-day period from January 24, 1997, to January 28, 1997, is not excludable.
See United States v. Elkins,
Harris suggests that this court should hold that excluding this entire period would be unreasonable because the “or other prompt disposition” language in § 3161(h)(1)(F) evinces “a legislative intent to exclude ... no more time than necessary [for resolution of a motion].” However, this court has held that “§ 3161(h)(1)(F) excludes
all
time between the filing of the motion and the conclusion of the hearing at which it is addressed.”
United States v. Dunn,
This court must follow Dunn and Henderson and hold that the entire period between Harris’s filing of his pretrial motions on January 28, 1997, and the district court’s hearing on December 8, 1998, was excluded from the Speedy Trial Act calculation, without regard to its reasonableness. Accordingly, less than 70 days elapsed under the Act from Harris’s indictment until his trial. Therefore, ■ we conclude that the district court properly rejected Harris’s Speedy Trial Act claim.
2. Sixth Amendment
The Sixth Amendment guarantees that, “[i]n all criminal prosecutions; the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial.” U.S. Const, amend. VI.
6
In order to determine whether a defendant has been depriyed of his right to a speedy trial, this court must consider (1) whether the delay before trial was uncommonly long; (2) whether the government or the defendant is more to blame for that delay; (3) whether, in due course, the defendant asserted his right to a speedy trial; and (4) whether the defendant suffered prejudice as a result of the delay (the
“Barker
factors”).
Doggett v. United States,
Nonetheless, the Supreme Court has recognized that a defendant generally cannot establish a Sixth Amendment speedy trial claim, however long the delay, if the government pursued the prosecution with “reasonable diligence,” and the defendant fails to show that the delay resulted in “specific prejudice to his defense.”
Doggett,
Furthermore, in this circuit, the defendant must demonstrate actual prejudice unless each of the first three factors “weigh[s] heavily against the government.”
Dunn,
Though required to show actual prejudice, Harris did not even argue actual prejudice in the district court, nor does he raise the issue on appeal.
See, e.g., Wilkes v. United States,
C. The government offered sufficient evidence to sustain Harris’s conviction.
In order to establish a violation of 42 U.S.C. § 408(a)(7)(B), the government must prove that the defendant, “with intent to deceive, falsely represented] a number to be [his Social Security number], when in fact such number [was] not [his Social Security number].” 42 U.S.C. § 408(a)(7)(B). Thus, the elements of the offense are (1) false representation of a Social Security number, (2) with intent to deceive, (3) for any purpose.
See United States v. Means,
At trial, Harris admitted that, when asked for identification by the law enforcement officers, he provided the officers with three false identification documents, two of which bore his name, photograph, and a Social Security number that did not belong to him. Harris and Officer Green both testified that Harris responded affirmatively when asked if the information on the cards was accurate. This evidence alone was sufficient to establish that Harris fraudulently used someone else’s Social Security number with the purpose and intent to deceive law enforcement. Accordingly, we conclude from the record that the evidence presented at trial was more than sufficient to support Harris’s conviction.
V. CONCLUSION
Under settled precedent, we affirm Harris’s Speedy Trial Act, Sixth Amendment, and sufficiency of the evidence challenges to his conviction. First, Harris’s Speedy *1292 Trial Act claim fails because the entire period between January 28, 1997, when he filed his pre-trial motions, and December 8, 1998, when the hearing on such motions was held, is excluded from the speedy trial calculation under 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(1)(F). Second, Harris’s Sixth Amendment speedy trial claim fails because he has not established a necessary factor: that he suffered actual prejudice as a result of the delay in his prosecution. Third, Harris’s sufficiency of the evidence claim fails because the jury heard evidence establishing that Harris represented to law enforcement officers that documents bearing his name and someone else’s Social Security number were accurate.
In addition, relying on Gogarty, we conclude, as did the district court, that the government did not breach Harris’s pretrial diversion agreement. Accordingly, we affirm Harris’s conviction and sentence.
AFFIRMED.
Notes
. On February 3, 1997, a Magistrate Judge ordered the motions to be heard in conjunction with trial.
. In
Bonner v. City of Prichard,
. Furthermore, as the Second Circuit noted in Gogarty:
Appellant's real complaint is that he has a contractual right not to be prosecuted, ... but this obviously implies that he has performed his part of the bargain. The appellant failed to live up to his obligation and this agreement ... contained no time limit on the government’s right to [¡prosecute the defendant in the event of noncompliance. One who fails to carry out his part of the bargain cannot invoke the agreement against the government.
. Because the requirements of the Speedy Trial Act cease once trial begins, the delay in deciding Harris's post-conviction motion for acquittal is not part of the Speedy Trial Act analysis.
See, e.g., United States v. Garcia,
.The Act also excludes from the computation "[a]ny period of delay during which prosecution is deferred by the attorney for the Government pursuant to written agreement with the defendant, with the approval of the court, for the purpose of allowing the defendant to demonstrate his good conduct.” 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(2). Therefore, Harris argues that the exclusion pursuant to § 3161(h)(2), which is based on his pretrial diversion agreement, superseded the otherwise applicable § 3161(h)(1)(F) exclusion, based on his pretrial motions, because multiple sections of the Speedy Trial Act cannot apply in conjunction with and simultaneously to other sections. Accordingly, the argument goes, virtually all of the period between February 26, 1998, when the diversion agreement lapsed,
*1289
and September 21, 1998, when the district court granted the government's motion to proceed with the prosecution, is not excluda-ble from the Speedy Trial Act calculation. In the alternative, Harris argues, based on the same premise, that the five months between the time the government filed its motion for trial and the time the district court decided that motion also is not excludable time, pursuant to § 3161(h)(l)(J), which excludes from the computation "[a]ny period of ... delay reasonably attributable to any period, not to exceed thirty days, during which any proceeding concerning the defendant is actually under advisement by the court.”
See United States
v.
Phillips,
. Because Harris’s motion for acquittal was made post conviction (as it must be), it is not part of Harris’s Sixth Amendment claim.
See, e.g., Dunn,
. A defendant who must prove actual prejudice to establish a speedy trial claim can do so by showing (1) oppressive pretrial incarceration; (2) anxiety and concern resulting from the delay; or (3) the possibility that his defense will be impaired.
United States v. Clark,
. A few courts have concluded that the third element of a § 408(a)(7)(B) offense requires the government to prove that the defendant committed the charged conduct for the purpose of obtaining something of value.
See, e.g., United States v. Sparks,
