1Opinion of the Court
ESCHBACH, Circuit Judge.
A jury convicted Frederick R. Draves of aiding and abetting credit card fraud in violation of 15 U.S.C. § 1644(a) and 18 U.S.C. § 2. On appeal, Draves challenges his conviction on jurisdictional, sufficiency of the evidence, and ineffective assistance of counsel grounds. The government counterappeals Draves’ sentence, challenging the district court’s refusal to apply a sentencing enhancement for obstruction of justice. We affirm both Draves’ conviction and his sentence.
