United States v. Jordan

Court of Appeals for the First Circuit

Decided March 2, 2016No. 15-1174PPublishedCited by 13 opinions

1Opinion of the Court

SELYA, Circuit Judge.

Defendant-appellant John C. Jordan once again appeals from the imposition of sentence. This time around, he advances two claims of sentencing error. First, he asserts that the district court abused its discretion in admitting certain expert testimony at sentencing. Second, he asserts that the court committed clear error in determining the amount of the loss attributable to the offense of conviction. Concluding, as we do, that these claims of error are fruitless, we affirm.

We sketch the background. The reader who hungers for more exegetic detail should consult our opinion…
