Before SMITH and SHEPHERD, Circuit Judges, and LIMBAUGH, District Judge.*fn1

Frederick W. Keiser Jr. was convicted of 22 counts of wire fraud, money laundering, conspiracy to commit money laundering, and conspiracy to defraud the United States for conduct related to his promotion of two fraudulent “bank trading programs.” The district court*fn2 sentenced Keiser to 144 months’ imprisonment. On appeal, Keiser argues that the district court erred in (1) denying his motion to continue sentencing, (2) determining that he validly waived his right to counsel, (3) allowing the admission of expert testimony about the fiduciary duties of commodities brokers, and (4) applying certain sentencing enhancements. We reject Keiser’s arguments and affirm the judgment of the district court.
