Government Files Cross Appeal in Wesley Snipes Case

The government filed a Notice of Cross-Appeal in the Wesley Snipes case (see below).  How far this will get, however, remains to be seen.  Certainly there are several questions that one has to ask here -

• What could they possibly be appealing?  Snipes received the prison sentence the government asked for  (see here)- three years. (see here) They can't appeal the jury's failure to convict on the counts he was acquitted on.  Thus, the only remaining basis could possibly be the court's failure to impose any fine, or to make "restitution" (payment of delinquent taxes) a special condition of supervised release.  Would they really make this a basis for a cross-appeal?
• Has this cross-appeal been through the approval process of the Solicitor General's office? And if so who approved it? (Paul Clements announced he was stepping down - see here)
