United States Eighth Circuit

Conviction and sentence for mail fraud is affirmed where: 1) the district court did not err in refusing to give defendant credit for money she returned after the fraud was discovered for purposes of calculating her offense level under statutory guidelines; 2) the district court did not err by including the estate's investigative costs in its restitution calculation; and 3) the restitution order did not impermissibly interfere with the contractual rights of the parties to the civil settlement agreement.
