   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  05-3312
                          and No:  05-3539
                          and No:  05-3536
   Western District of Missouri   
   [PUBLISHED] [Riley, Author, with Wollman and Bowman, Circuit Judges]
   Criminal case - Sentencing. In this case, the relevant drug quantity was
   a disputed issue, and the district court had an obligation under Rule
   32(i)(3)(B) to make specific factual findings supporting its ruling on the
   disputed matter unless the matter would not affect sentencing; here, drug
   quantity had a direct impact on sentencing, and the court's failure to
   make the required findings was plain error which required reversal;
   district court did not err in imposing enhancements for a leadership role
   in the offense and for possession of a firearm in connection with the
   underlying drug offense.
