“Huusko contends that the district court failed to give any weight to the prospect that he had been wrongly convicted and would win his appeal. If that should happen, he argues, he would be improperly held in federal custody while he attempted to obtain counsel and file a habeas corpus petition. This argument is unavailing. The district court was entitled to rely on Huusko’s conviction as adequate proof of the violation of state law. United States v. Fleming, 9 F.3d 1253, 1254 (7th Cir. 1993).”
