Eldon L. Fisher appeals from his conviction for Medicaid fraud in violation of U.S.C. § 1320a-7b(a)(1)(i) and asserts that the district court1 erred in instructing the jury, admitting certain evidence, and limiting the cross-examination of certain witnesses. He also takes exception to the sentence that the district court imposed. After

The Honorable Jean C. Hamilton, United States District Judge for the Eastern District of Missouri. a careful review of the record and the parties' briefs, we conclude that there was no error. Because a thorough opinion on these matters would lack precedential value, we affirm the trial court's judgment in all respects. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
