   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  03-3133
   Northern District of Iowa   
[PUBLISHED] [Smith, Author, with Murphy and Heaney, Circuit Judges] Criminal case - Sentencing Guidelines. District court's drug calculations were not clearly erroneous; defendant was not entitled to a safety-valve departure as the district court's finding that he had not been completely truthful at the safety-valve interview was not clearly erroneous; applying Pirani's plain error analysis, defendant was not entitled to Booker relief as he failed to demonstrate a reasonable probability that the district court would have imposed a lesser sentence under an advisory guidelines scheme; sentence was not unreasonable in light of the factors set forth in 18 U.S.C. Sec. 3553(a). Judge Heaney dissenting on the safety-valve issue.
