United States v. Flanagan

McKAY, Circuit Judge. Thomas Alfred Flanagan appeals from his conviction on a multi-count indictment for conspiracy, mail fraud, wire fraud, and
money laundering. Mr. Flanagan was convicted of one count of conspiracy in violation of 18 U.S.C. 371, eight counts of mail
fraud in violation of 18 U.S.C. 1341, six counts of wire fraud in violation of 18 U.S.C. 1343, and one count of money laundering
in violation of 18 U.S.C. 1957(a). The district court calculated Mr. Flanagan's total offense level under the Sentencing Guidelines
at thirty, with a criminal history category of II, mandating a term of imprisonment of between 108 and 135 months. The district
court sentenced Mr. Flanagan to a term of 60 months imprisonment on the first three convictions and 115 months imprisonment
on the money laundering conviction, the terms to run concurrently. The court also imposed a three-year term of supervised
release. On appeal, Mr. Flanagan raises four instances of alleged error.
