   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  02-1703
   District of South Dakota   
Criminal Case - sentencing. District court's grant of upward departure is affirmed, as past criminal conduct and significant interruption of government function were permissible grounds. Defendant waived his right to appeal the government's breach of the plea agreement by not objecting to the government silence at sentencing when it had agreed to recommend a sentence at the lower end of the guideline range in the plea agreement.
