Federal District: 
S.D. Ill.
Holding: 
Affirmed
Dist. Ct. did not err in sentencing defendant to 12-month term of incarceration on bankruptcy fraud charge even though defendant argued that Dist. Ct. did not give sufficient consideration to defendant's allegation that instant sentence would work hardship on children where defendant's wife was sentenced to 21-month term of incarceration on same charge. Dist. Ct. adequately addressed defendant's family hardship argument and otherwise made accommodation by ensuring that defendant and his wife serve staggered sentences to allow either defendant or his wife to be available to care for children.
