Is the wire fraud statute in pari materia with the mail fraud statute?

MultiRegion, United States of America

The following excerpt is from U.S. v. Oren, 893 F.2d 1057 (9th Cir. 1990):

18 U.S.C. Sec. 1343 (1982). The wire fraud statute is in pari materia with the mail fraud statute, 18 U.S.C. Sec. 1341 (Supp. V 1987), and is therefore given a similar construction. United States v. Cusino, 694 F.2d 185, 187 n. 1 (9th Cir.1982), cert. denied, 461 U.S. 932, 103 S.Ct. 2096, 77 L.Ed.2d 305 (1983); see also Carpenter v. United States, 484 U.S. 19, 25 n. 6, 108 S.Ct. 316, 320 n. 6, 98 L.Ed.2d 275 (1987) ("The mail and wire fraud statutes share the same language in relevant part, and accordingly we apply the same analysis to both sets of offenses here.").
