"materially different" from the allegations in the Indictment.48 The
evidence indicated that Maxwell transported Jane to New York for
sexual abuse and conspired to do the same. Maxwell knew that the
evidence also included conduct in New Mexico.49 Furthermore,
Maxwell cannot demonstrate "substantial prejudice." Maxwell
received—over three weeks before trial—notes of Jane's interview
recording the abuse she suffered in New Mexico. This is enough to
conclude that Maxwell was not "unfairly and substantially"
prejudiced.50

5. Maxwell's Sentence Was Procedurally Reasonable
Lastly, Maxwell argues that her sentence was procedurally
unreasonable because the District Court erred in applying a leadership
sentencing enhancement under the Sentencing Guidelines and
inadequately explained its above-Guidelines sentence.51 We disagree.
