   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  12-1617
                          and No:  12-1919
   U.S. District Court for the District of North Dakota - Fargo   
   [PUBLISHED] [Bye, Author, with Wollman and Benton, Circuit Judges]
Criminal case - Sentencing. District court thoroughly considered the 3553(a) factors at the sentencing hearing, issued a 17-page sentencing memorandum and provided a sufficient explanation for its sentencing decision; district court did not err in denying defendant a reduction for acceptance of responsibility where defendant contested factual statements and nearly all applicable enhancements in the PSR; no error in imposing an enhancement under Guidelines Sec. 3B1.1(a) for leadership role in the offense; no error in imposing an upward enhancement on the ground the offense level substantially understated the seriousness of the offense; where the government failed to provide documentation with the required specificity and reliability to establish the amount of restitution, the court should have postponed the restitution proceedings for the gathering and presentation of additional evidence; similarly, the district court erred in ordering forfeiture in the limited amount set out in its restitution order; the restitution and forfeiture orders are vacated and remanded for further proceeding regarding the losses the victims sustained and the proceeds defendant gained from the scheme.
