Neder v. United States, , was a United States Supreme Court case decided in 1999. The Court held that the omission of an element of an offense with which a defendant is charged and convicted should be evaluated under the "harmless error" standard that the Court previously described in the 1967 case Chapman v. California. The Court also held that, in order to sustain a conviction under the federal mail, wire, and bank fraud statutes, the government must prove materiality of the underlying conduct.
