United States Ninth Circuit

A practicing dermatologist's sentence resulting from convictions for bankruptcy fraud is affirmed in part as to the sentence and an order for restitution and prosecution costs, but reversed in part as: 1) the district court properly determined the amount of intended loss for purposes of sentencing, and the amount of actual loss for purposes of restitution; but 2) an application for reconveyance of certain trust deeds was improperly denied.
