1Opinion of the Court
WATERS, District Judge.
F. Butch Oseby appeals his conviction and sentence for conspiring to defraud the United States and giving a gratuity to a public official. Oseby contends that the district court erred when it: (1) unforeseeably expanded a federal statute; (2) improperly admitted statements made by a co-conspirator; and (3) miscalculated loss under the sentencing guidelines. For the reasons stated below, we affirm Oseby’s conviction, but vacate his sentence, and remand for further proceedings consistent with this opinion.
