Description
CARDAMONE, Circuit Judge Renard Barone appeals from a September 25, 1989 judgment of conviction entered after a four-day trial in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York before Chief Judge Brieant and a jury. Barone was convicted on one count of tax evasion, in violation of 26 U.S.C. Γ§ 7201 (1988), and two counts of perjury before a federal grand jury, in violation of 18 U.S.C. Γ§ 1623 (1988). On this appeal appellant challenges his conviction on the grounds that the district court erred in allowing the government to admit into evidence a tape recording of a conversation between him and a government informant without presenting the informant as a witness at trial. Barone also contends that the district court erred in adding two points for two groups of offenses under Γ§ 3D1.4 of the sentencing guidelines and abused its discretion in departing upwards from the applicable guidelines' range.
