   District of Minnesota   
   [PUBLISHED] [Murphy, Author, with Bowman and Benton, Circuit Judges]
   Criminal case - criminal law and sentencing. Evidence was sufficient
   to support Nancy Bistrup's conviction on bank and mail fraud charges, as
   well as on the charge of making misrepresentations to a financial
   institution; no error admitting testimony of a handwriting expert; no error
   in refusing to allow Nancy to introduce evidence of her husband Alan's
   extramarital affair; district court did not err in imposing a sophisticated-
   means enhancement against defendant Alan Bistrup; no error in imposing
   an enhancement for Alan's role in the offense; district court sufficiently
   stated its reasons for imposing Alan's 188 month sentence.
