United States Eighth Circuit

Conviction for mail fraud and wire fraud is affirmed where: 1) information provided by a postal inspector provided probable cause for the issuance of a search warrant; 2) the district court did not abuse its discretion in denying defendant's motion for a continuance on the morning of the trial; and 3) defendant's motion for a new trial was properly denied over claims regarding a language barrier, Brady violation, and improper admission of evidence.
