United States Second Circuit

Defendant's conviction and sentence for conspiracy to violate the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act of 2006 (UIGEA), conspiracy to commit bank fraud and wire fraud, and conspiracy to commit money laundering are affirmed, where: 1) despite defendant's claim that the indictment alleges conduct exempt from prosecution under the UIGEA, the purported defect in defendant's indictment is non-jurisdictional in nature, and therefore could be, and was, waived by defendant's unconditional guilty plea; and 2) defendant's sentence was neither substantively nor procedurally unreasonable.
