   [PUBLISHED] [Wollman, Author, with John R. Gibson, and Murphy,
   Circuit Judges]
   Criminal case - criminal law and sentencing. Evidence was sufficient
   to support defendant Strothers' conviction for engaging in a loan fraud
   conspiracy; district court did not err in denying Strothers a minor role
   reduction; no error in calculating the amount of loss attributable to
   Strothers; no error in imposing enhancement for number of victims under
   Guidelines Sec. 2B1.1(b)(2); no error in imposing enhancements under
   Guidelines Sec. 2B1.1(b)(10) and Sec. 2B1.1(b)(9)(c); evidence was
   sufficient to support defendant Liwaru's conviction for conspiracy to
   defraud the United States; allowing jury to see an exhibit which was not
   introduced at trial was plain error, but the jury had seen the chart during
   the trial, and its admission did not affect the outcome of the case;
   supplemental jury instructions given in response to a jury question were
   specific and neutral and were not error; no error in imposing
   enhancements to defendant Liwaru's sentence based on amount of loss,
   number of victims, use of sophisticated means and unauthorized use of
   identification; Speedy Trial Act claim rejected; no error in denying
   defendant Jenkins's motion to sever her case; bank personnel were not
   acting in as instruments of government and statements Jenkins gave the
   personnel were not taken in violation of her Miranda rights; indictment
   was sufficient to charge Jenkins with aggravated identity theft; evidence
   was sufficient to support Jenkins's conviction for aggravated identity
   theft.
