U.S. v. Portman

Dist. Ct. did not err in sentencing defendant to 48-month term of incarceration on mail and wire fraud charges stemming from defendant's attempts to pass off counterfeit checks to several banks. While defendant argued that he was entitled to below guideline sentence based on his diminished mental capacity, record showed that defendant's alleged mental illness was unproven, and defendant otherwise had failed to establish that his alleged mental illness had contributed to commission of charged offenses.
