1Opinion of the Court
MANION, Circuit Judge.
A jury convicted Riyadh Al-Shahin and his wife Hayfa Al-Shahin of mail fraud stemming from their involvement in a scheme to collect money from an insurance company for a fraudulent automobile accident. The Al-Shahins appeal, claiming that the district court erred in admitting certain testimony at trial, in refusing to give two jury instructions, and in failing to conduct an evidentiary hearing regarding extrajudicial juror communications. They also contest an enhancement to their sentences for the amount of loss. We affirm their convictions and sentences.
