Opinion
Graber, J.
Defendant Dongfan “Greg” Chung, a former Boeing engineer who gave technological information to China, appeals his convictions on six counts of violating the Economic Espionage Act of 1996 (“EEA”), 18 U.S.C. § 1831 (a)(1), (3); on one count of conspiring to violate the EEA, 18 U.S.C. § 371 ; on one count of acting as an unregistered foreign agent, 18 U.S.C. § 951 ; and on one count of making a false statement to federal agents, 18 U.S.C. § 1001 . Defendant argues primarily that his convictions were not supported by sufficient evidence.
Alternatively, Defendant contends that he is entitled to a new trial because the government failed to turn over exculpatory information in violation of its duty under Brady v. Maryland, 373 U.S. 83 , 83 S.Ct. 1194 , 10 L.Ed.2d 215 (1963), and because the district court made several erroneous evidentiary rulings. Finally, he challenges the district court’s calculation of his offense level under the United States Sentencing Guidelines.
For the reasons that follow, we affirm.
