1Opinion of the Court
TIMBERS, Circuit Judge:
Appellant Puello appeals from a conviction entered upon his plea of guilty in the Eastern District of New York, Denis R. Hurley, District Judge.
The essential issues are (1) whether, in imposing a 21 month sentence, the court’s upward departure from the fraud sentencing guideline created an unwarranted sentence disparity where there had been no upward departure in a similar case, and (2) whether application of the money laundering guideline to determine the extent of the upward departure resulted in an unnecessarily high sentence.
We affirm.

We summarize only those facts…
