113355P.pdf   10/01/2012  United States  v.  Troy David Chaika
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  11-3355
   U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota - St. Paul   
   [PUBLISHED] [Loken, Author, with Beam, Circuit Judge, and Perry,
   District Judge]
   Criminal case - Criminal law and Sentencing. District court did not
   abuse its discretion by refusing to permit defendant to impeach a
   cooperating witness with a prior sexual misconduct conviction as the
   conviction was unrelated to the mortgage fraud at issue and did not
   require proof of a dishonest act or false statement; no error in admitting
   testimony from the government's expert witnesses on the mortgage loan
   industry and mortgage fraud; claims of error not supported by argument
   would not be considered; sentence was not substantively unreasonable;
   district court erred by entering a final order of restitution without giving
   defendant an opportunity to object to the restitution claims being
   awarded; case remanded for further restitution proceedings.
