   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  09-2532
   U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri - Cape Girardeau   
   [PUBLISHED] [Shepherd, Author, with Riley, Chief Judge, and Smith,
   Circuit Judge]
   Criminal case - criminal law and sentencing. Evidence was sufficient to
   support defendant's mail fraud convictions, as he made material
   misrepresentations to the insurance company in connection with his
   submission of false claims for service; the district court recognized its
   authority to grant a downward departure, and its discretionary denial of
   defendant's request for a departure is unreviewable; district court
   adequately addressed the 3553(a) sentencing factors; no error in making
   defendant's sentences consecutive; sentence was not unreasonable;
   district court did not err in awarding the full amount of the restitution to
   the insurer rather than splitting the restitution between the insurer and
   defendant's mother's estate.
