Question Presented (from Petition)

1. Whether a criminal conviction violates the Due Process Clause when it rests upon expert testimony that is irreconcilable with foundational documentary evidence, creating a mathematical impossibility that negates proof beyond a reasonable doubt as a matter of law.

2. Whether an "intended loss" calculation under U.S.S.G. § 2B1.1 can include assets that were judicially restored to the purported victim years before indictment, where the defendant's lack of intent to cause a permanent loss is established as a temporal impossibility.

3. Whether the government violates its obligations under Brady v. Maryland and the Due Process Clause when it advances a theory of prosecution at trial that its own possessed records directly refute, and a court of appeals compounds the error by relying on a clear factual mistake regarding the existence of those records.

4. Whether a district court's refusal to consider objections to a Presentence Report, based on an erroneous finding of untimeliness contradicted by the docket, constitutes a violation of Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 32 and the right to due process at sentencing.
