1Opinion of the Court
WOLLMAN, Circuit Judge.
A jury convicted Seng Xiong of mail and wire fraud in violation of 18 U.S.C. §§ 1341 and 1343. The district court 1 sentenced Xiong to 87 months' imprisonment. Xiong argues that the court erred in disallowing him from presenting affirmative defenses based on perceived government authority, that the court violated his Fifth Amendment rights by questioning him directly, that the court violated his Sixth Amendment rights by barring him from presenting witnesses, and that the court erred in imposing a sentence that is procedurally and substantively unreasonable. We affirm.
