United States Fourth Circuit

Defendant's multiple convictions for his participation in a scheme to arrange fraudulent marriages between Navy sailors and foreign nationals is affirmed, where the district court did not err in: 1) admitting hearsay statements made on recorded prison telephone calls because no Confrontation Clause violation occurred; 2) refusing to strike a juror for cause; 3) grouping the counts of conviction under the Sentencing Guidelines; and 4) calculating the total loss amount under the Sentencing Guidelines.
