Text: 2 Charles Onuorah appeals his conviction for eight counts of making false claims against the government, and conspiring to do so, in violation of 18 U.S.C. Secs. 286 and 287. He also appeals his thirty-one month prison sentence and the order requiring him to pay $46,081 in restitution to the government. Charles Onuorah is presently incarcerated and has served about twenty-five months of his sentence. We have jurisdiction under 18 U.S.C. Sec. 3231. We affirm. 3 Charles Onuorah makes the following claims of error: (1) that the district court improperly allowed his trial counsel to waive his Batson objection to the prosecution's peremptory challenge of an African-American juror; (2) that several evidentiary rulings cumulatively denied him his due process rights; (3) that restitution was not proper; (4) that the district court enhanced his sentence based on an erroneous determination that he was an organizer or leader; and (5) that delays in the disposition of his appeal violated his due process rights.
