United States Second Circuit

Conviction and sentence for false statements, mail fraud, and health care fraud-related charges is affirmed where the district court did not exceed its allowable discretion by admitting challenged testimony, as the government demonstrated that the lay opinion testimony was sufficiently based on and rationally derived from the witness's first-hand perceptions.
