United States Seventh Circuit

Conviction for smuggling Cuban cigars is affirmed over defendant's arguments that a federal agent violated his Fourth Amendment rights by asking his ex-wife to gather information, but defendant's sentence is sent back on a limited remand under U.S. v. Paladino with the possibility of eventual resentencing.
