United States Tenth Circuit

Defendant's conviction for tax evasion is affirmed over claims that: 1) the district court erred in admitting evidence of his lawsuits against tax court judges; 2) he was not timely tried under the federal Speedy Trial Act; 3) the district court lacked subject-matter jurisdiction; 4) the federal Paperwork Reduction Act barred his prosecution; and 5) the indictment and evidence were insufficient. However, his sentence is vacated pursuant to a claim that the district court erred in applying a sentencing enhancement based on his role in the tax-evasion offenses.
