Heading: Apartment, Travel and Per Diem Loss

Text: 35 The district court concluded that Burns caused an additional loss of $7,514 for mileage and per diem expenses related to travel to Boston, $5,240 in expenses for the apartment, and $709 in parking, for a total of $13,463. In challenging these determinations, Burns essentially reiterates his challenge to the verdict on the grounds of insufficient evidence, arguing that he had authority to open a Boston office, and that he completed all of his work for Northeast even while attending Harvard. We concluded above that the government presented evidence sufficient for the jury to find that Burns did not work full-time for Northeast while at Harvard and that he improperly leased the apartment for his own personal needs. Burns did not establish that the district court was clearly erroneous in accepting these same conclusions for the purpose of sentencing.
