   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  02-1080
   Southern District of Iowa   
   Criminal case - Sentencing Guidelines. A district court must 
   apply the guideline in place at the time the crime was 
   committed if application of the guideline in effect at the 
   time of sentencing would result in a more severe sentence; 
   here, sentence imposed would be same under either guideline, 
   so application of the guideline in place at the time of sentencing 
   did not result in an increased sentence or an the Ex Post Facto 
   Clause violation.
