   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  04-2574
   Western District of Arkansas   
   Criminal Case - sentence. District court did not clearly err in denying a 
   mitigating role reduction, as defendant was deeply involved in the offense 
   of conspiring to distribute methamphetamine. Defendant's sentencing 
   claim is reviewed for plain error as he failed to object to the drug quantity 
   calculation in the PSR. Because defendant did not demonstrate a 
   reasonable probability the district court would have imposed a more 
   favorable sentence if the guidelines were applied as advisory, error was 
   not plain. Evidence of quantity was overwhelming. Prior felony 
   conviction was properly applied as a sentencing factor.
