Defendant-appellant Jeffrey Schwartz appeals from a judgment of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (Harold Baer, Jr., D.J.), convicting him of obstruction of justice, in violation of Title 18, United States Code, Section 1503, and conspiracy to obstruct justice, in violation of Title 18, United States Code, Section 371, and sentencing him to fifteen months of imprisonment, two years of supervised release, a $5000 fine, and $200 in special assessments.
