Defendant pleaded guilty to wire fraud and was sentenced to three years in prison and three years of supervised release, and was ordered to pay restitution. On appeal, defendant argued that the district court erred when it determined that his transaction with a business associate was within the scope of his conviction and the district court did not provide sufficient notice that it would rule on the transaction at the final sentencing hearing. The Seventh Circuit rejected both arguments and affirmed. (ROVNER and BRENNAN, concurring)
