United States Court of Appeals, First Circuit.

Decided August 7, 2006.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Karen A. Pickett and Donnelly, Conroy & Gehlhaar, LLP on brief for appellant.

Paula D. Silsby, United States Attorney, and Margaret D. McGaughey, Assistant United States Attorney (Appellate Chief), on brief for appellee.

Before BOUDIN, Chief Judge, COFFIN, Senior Circuit Judge, and SELYA, Circuit Judge.

Concluding, as we do, that his assignments of error lack merit, we affirm.
