171084P.pdf   07/19/2018  United States  v.  Elena Polukhin
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  17-1084
   U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota - St. Paul   
   [PUBLISHED] [Colloton, Author, with Loken and Beam, Circuit Judges] 
   Criminal case - Criminal law. While the defendant's offense of conviction 
   did not authorize the amount of restitution ordered, defendant's plea 
   agreement allowed the court to consider other criminal conduct that would 
   justify the amount of restitution imposed, and the district court did not 
   err in finding defendant conspired with others to defraud the United 
   States of an amount that justified the award; district court clerk's 
   disbursal of the funds held in the court's registry account did not moot 
   the appeal because a portion of the restitution was not due until 
   defendant completed her sentence, and the court has not been notified that 
   defendant paid the amount or that the court disbursed such funds to the 
   victims.
