United States Fifth Circuit

Defendant's conviction for mail fraud and perjury in connection with the receipt of workers' compensation benefits is affirmed over challenges to the sufficiency of the indictment and evidence, the prosecution's use of summary evidence, exclusion of evidence, and denial of a motion for mistrial. His sentence is vacated where the court incorrectly calculated the amount of loss for sentencing purposes.
