View this case - free  

Overview: District court could have reasonably concluded that it was not unfair to deny U.S. interest on amount recouped where decedent's estate erroneously claimed a deduction for a residual trust, U.S. chose not to pursue the error, and U.S. could have only recovered now because wife's estate made a mistake in including residual trust on its tax return.

View this case - free  

Overview: Conviction was affirmed as the district court did not err by restricting defendant's cross examination of a witness under Fed. R. Evid. 404(b), and by excluding out of court statements under Fed. R. Evid. 801(c) and 802. The sentence was not unreasonable as defendant was sentenced at the bottom of the applicable U.S. Sentencing Guidelines range.
