   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  03-1746
   Northern District of Iowa   
Criminal Case - sentencing. Whether reviewing for clear error or plain error, the district court did not err in applying a two-level increase for obstruction of justice based on defendant's assault of a witness and threats toward the witness's family. District court did not err in denying safety- valve reduction based on the attack on the witness because it was in the course of attempting to avoid detection or responsibility for his offense.
