There are two "classes" of punishment under 18 USC 1036
(1) a fine under this title or imprisonment for not more than 10 years, or both, if the offense is committed with the intent to commit a felony; or
(2) a fine under this title or imprisonment for not more than 6 months, or both, in any other case.
From which it may be inferred that entry by false pretenses itself is not a felony?
