   Northern District of Iowa   
[PUBLISHED] [M. Arnold, Author, with Murphy and Benton, Circuit Judges] Criminal case - Sentencing Guidelines. Defendant admitted the facts used to calculate drug quantity, and the district court did not err in using this information to set the applicable sentencing range under Guidelines Sec. 2D1.1; district court anticipated the Booker decision and properly treated Guidelines as advisory; court methodically evaluated the provisions of 18 U.S.C. 3553(a) in setting sentence, and defendant failed to rebut the presumption that the sentence was reasonable.
