Before BARKETT, FAY and STAPLETON, *fn1 Circuit Judges.

Alfredo Eduardo Polo Padron appeals from his conviction and 24-month sentence on one count of conspiracy to commit mail fraud in violation of 18 U.S.C. §§ 371 and 1341, and four counts of mail fraud in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1341. A jury convicted Padron of the mail fraud based on his involvement with a personal injury clinic which obtained money from insurance companies by submitting false claims via United States mail. On appeal, Padron argues that the Government’s conduct in investigating him amounted to entrapment. He also challenges three evidentiary rulings the district court made during his trial. Finally, he appeals from his sentence on grounds that the district court erred in the loss calculation and that the district court lacked statutory authority to impose a forfeiture money judgment against him. After careful review and consideration of the briefs and oral argument of counsel, we affirm Padron’s conviction and sentence.
