We will remand for resentencing. A True Copy: Teste: Clerk of the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit _________________________________________________________________ scheme, while the mailings from the dealers in Schmuck were a direct result of and would not have occurred but for the fraudulent scheme. Schmuck, 489 U.S. at 713 n.7. Here also, the court regularly mailed notices to parties and the DOT in every case, whether or not the defendants had attempted to influence the result. 5. In a footnote in its brief, the government points to testimony that the defendants caused notices to be mailed of the time, date, and place of the hearings in the various cases. Appellee's Br. at 36 n.4. Even if these had been alleged in the indictment to be mailings in furtherance of the conspiracy, we could not sustain the defendants' mail fraud convictions on the basis of these notices. They too are a necessary part of the Statutory Appeals Court's carrying out its charge to adjudicate the cases within its jurisdiction. These notices were sent in all cases and their function was precisely the same during the conspiracy as it would have been without that conspiracy. 14
