Where a District Court ordered a defendant to reimburse the government for legal services after the court made a finding that the defendant was financially able to obtain counsel, the judgment is affirmed because the court found that the defendant fraudulently conveyed real estate to his daughters with the intent to avoid a fine following his weapons conviction and the defendant had assets other than his homestead from which he could pay for his defense. Judgment is affirmed.
