1Opinion of the Court
KANNE, Circuit Judge.
Patrick Allan pled guilty to one count of mail fraud, see 18 U.S.C. § 1341, and was sentenced to 41 months’ imprisonment. On appeal he challenges his sentence, which the district court calculated after increasing his offense level because he employed “sophisticated means” when perpetrating the fraud. See U.S.S.G. § 2Bl.l(b)(9)(C). We affirm the sentence imposed by the district court.
