WINTER, Circuit Judge:

Alfred Covino appeals from convictions after a jury trial before Chief Judge Brieant under the Travel Act and for wire fraud. The government cross-appeals from the district court's acquittal after the jury had found Covino guilty of extortion in violation of the Hobbs Act. We affirm the Travel Act conviction, reverse the Hobbs Act acquittal, and reverse the wire fraud conviction.
