   [PUBLISHED] [Smith, Author, with Hansen, Circuit Judges and Bogue,
   District Judge]
   Criminal Case - venue. Conspiracy to distribute methamphetamine
   within protected location was properly brought in Northern District of
   Iowa, because sufficient evidence presented that overt act in furtherance
   of conspiracy took place there. 132-month sentence is affirmed, as
   calculation of drug quantity was not clearly erroneous, district court did
   not err in refusing to grant downward departure for minor role or
   acceptance of responsibility, and sentence below the guidelines range 
   was not unreasonable.
