Annotate this Case
U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit - 129 F.3d 122 (8th Cir. 1997) Submitted: Oct. 23, 1997. Filed: Oct. 30, 1997

Before FAGG, WOLLMAN, and MORRIS SHEPPARD ARNOLD, Circuit Judges.


PER CURIAM

Roger J. Raether appeals his conviction and sentence for conspiring to make false statements to the General Service Administration and to convert tribal property. Raether contends the district court improperly denied Raether's motion to dismiss because the conspiracy was a legal impossibility. Raether also raises several contentions related to the admissibility of evidence offered by the government, the instructions given to the jury, and the sufficiency of the evidence to support the jury's verdict. Raether also raises an argument about his sentence. A review of the record shows that Raether's claims are without merit, and a discussion of the issues will serve no useful purpose. We affirm Raether's conviction and sentence. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
