UNITED STATES of America, Plaintiff-Appellee, v. David Gregory MUELLER, Defendant-Appellant, 205 F. App'x 125

PER CURIAM: Along with two other individuals, David Gregory Mueller was convicted by a jury of seven counts of mail fraud, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1341 (2000); wire fraud, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1343 (2000); and conspiracy to commit fraud, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 371 (2000). Mueller was sentenced to twenty-four months of imprisonment. On appeal, this court affirmed Mueller’s convictions but remanded for re-sentencing under United States v. Booker, 543 U.S. 220, 125 S.Ct. 738, 160 L.Ed.2d 621 (2005), finding that the enhancement under U.S.

Sentencing Guidelines Manual § 2Fl.l(b)(l)(H) (2000) for intended loss based upon judicial fact-finding constituted plain error. United States v. Turgeon, 149 Fed.Appx. 144 (4th Cir.2005). On remand, the district court imposed the same sentence. The probation officer assigned a guideline range of twenty-four to thirty months of imprisonment based on a total offense level of seventeen and a criminal history category of I. The presentence report (“PSR”) indicated $185,223 as the amount of loss attributed to Mueller. This figure included timber and land value for respective fraud victims.

As a result of the PSR loss calculation, under USSG § 2F1.1(b)(1)(H), a seven-level adjustment was applied to Mueller’s base offense level. On appeal, Mueller argues that the court erred in its calculation of loss under USSG § 2Fl.l(b)(l)(H). He essentially raises the same argument he did below, i.e., whether the court erred in including the value of the land in its loss determination. This court reviews a district court’s factual findings at sentencing for clear error and its legal conclusions, including its

interpretation and application of the sentencing guidelines, de novo. United States v. Daughtrey, 874 F.2d 213, 217-18 (4th Cir.1989). The determination of loss attributable to a fraud scheme is a factual issue for resolution by the district court. United States v. Godwin, 272 F.3d 659, 671 (4th Cir.2001). We have reviewed the briefs and material submitted in the joint appendix in light of Mueller’s arguments and find no error in the application of the disputed enhancement. Accordingly, we affirm Mueller’s sentence.

We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional process. AFFIRMED.
