   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  21-1243
   U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri - Cape Girardeau   
   [PUBLISHED] [Kobes, Author, with Loken and Kelly, Circuit Judges] 
   Criminal case - Sentencing. Safety-valve eligibility does not require the 
   court to sentence the defendant to a term less than the mandatory minimum; 
   the district court explained why it believed the 87-month guidelines range 
   sentence it imposed was appropriate, and it did not have to provide a 
   separate explanation as to why a below-mandatory-minimum sentence was 
   inappropriate; the court did consider defendant's mitigating factors, and 
   the sentence it imposed was not substantively unreasonable or an abuse of 
   the district court's discretion.
