United States Fourth Circuit

In an obstruction of justice prosecution, the restitution portion of Defendant's sentence is affirmed, where 1) the District Court-s application of the Mandatory Victims Restitution Act to determine Defendant's restitution obligation did not violate the Ex Post Facto Clause; and 2) the plea colloquy indicated that the parties intended to include a broader range of acts in the offense of conviction than those related solely to the conspiracy to obstruct the grand jury investigation.
