Affirmed
Dist. Ct. did not err in sentencing defendant to 63-month term of incarceration on mail fraud charge stemming from defendant's investment scheme that resulted in defendant's personal use of over $800,000. Ct. rejected defendant's claim that Dist. Ct. should have considered fact that co-conspirator in scheme was not convicted of similar charges when imposing instant sentence, or that Dist. Ct. failed to adequately explain rationale for defendant's sentence.
