Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit

1Opinion of the Court
ILANA DIAMOND ROVNER, Circuit Judge.
Charles Porter pled guilty to five counts of mail fraud and one count of wire fraud, and now challenges the sentence he received under the Sentencing Guidelines. He contends that the district court erred in calculating the amount of loss under U.S.S.G. § 2F1.1, in adding a two-level enhancement for obstruction of justice under U.S.S.G. § 3C1.1, and in departing upward two levels on the ground that Porter utilized a minor to further his criminal activity. Finding no error on any of these points, we affirm Porter’s sentence.
