US v. Pansier, No. 07-3771

Conviction for obstructing the administration of the IRS, filing false IRS forms, and passing phony financial instruments with the intent to defraud is affirmed where: 1) the delays in defendant's trial did not violate the Speedy Trial Act as the the district court was permitted to exclude at least thirty days to resolve multiple pretrial motions; 2) the indictment for defendant's conviction for obstructing the due administration of the IRS is not duplicitous as the indictment solely charges a violation of the omnibus clause of 26 U.S.C. sec. 7212(a); 3) the indictment sufficiently charged that defendant willfully made and subscribed false statements on IRS forms in violation of 26 U.S.C. sec. 7206(1); and 4) the court correctly applied Daubert and allowed the expert testimony.
