Description

James M. Castner and Kenneth D. Sechler appeal their convictions and their resulting sentences for committing major fraud against the United States, 18 U.S.C.A. Â§Â§ 1031-1032 (West Supp. 1994), and mail fraud, 18 U.S.C.A. Â§Â§ 1341-1342 (West 1984 & Supp. 1994). They argue that the district court erred because: (1) it departed from its impartial role and acted as an advocate for the government during trial, (2) it incorrectly determined the amount of loss under U.S.S.G. Â§ 2F1.1 during sentencing, (3) it failed to rely on specific findings of fact to support its determination of each Appellants ability to pay the fines and restitution imposed, (4) it incorrectly enhanced Castners sentence for obstructing Justice, and (5) it refused to reduce either Appellants sentence for acceptance of responsibility. Finding these allegations do not warrant reversal, we affirm.
