HULL, Circuit Judge:

After pleading guilty, Stephen Bracciale appeals his 15-month prison sentence for wire fraud, in violation of 18 U.S.C. §§ 1343, 1346, and 2. Bracciale argues that the district court erred: (1) in its loss calculations under sentencing guideline § 2F1.1; and (2) in imposing the abuse-of-trust enhancement pursuant to guideline § 3B1.3. U.S.S.G. §§ 2F1.1 & 3B1.3 (1995). 1 After review and oral argument, we reverse the loss calculation and affirm the abuse-of-trust enhancement.
