                      Appeal from the United States District Court
                         for the Northern District of Georgia
                            ________________________

                                     (August 22, 2018)

Before WILSON and NEWSOM, Circuit Judges, and WRIGHT, ∗ District Judge.

PER CURIAM:

∗
 Honorable Susan Webber Wright, United States District Judge for the Eastern District of
Arkansas, sitting by designation.
              Case: 16-15683     Date Filed: 08/22/2018    Page: 2 of 2

      Samuel Kwushue appeals his convictions, 51-month sentence of

imprisonment, and restitution of $5,249,958.57 for eight counts of wire fraud in

violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1343. He argues that the district court erred in

determining the loss amount and restitution for his food-stamp fraud scheme,

applying a four-level enhancement for an aggravating role in the offense, and

finding a proper factual basis that he used interstate wires to perpetrate a scheme to

defraud. After a careful review of the briefs and the record, and having the benefit

of oral argument, we find no error.

      AFFIRMED.

                                          2
