1Opinion of the Court
HENLEY, Senior Circuit Judge.
James Ervin Leroux appeals from his conviction for mail fraud under 18 U.S.C. § 1341 on account of his role in a scheme to defraud an insurance company. He urges reversal contending that: (1) he was entrapped as a matter of law; (2) the government’s participation and conduct was so outrageous and fundamentally unfair that he was deprived of due process; (3) the statements of a codefendant were improperly admitted; and (4) the evidence is insufficient to sustain the jury verdict. We affirm the judgment of the district court. 1
