   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  05-3917
   Southern District of Iowa   
   [PUBLISHED] [Wollman, Author, with Bright and Riley, Circuit Judges]
Criminal case - Sentencing. District court erred in sentencing defendant to probation following his conviction for being a felon in possession of a firearm and ammunition and for being a drug user in possession of a firearm, as the circumstances present in the case were not the kind of extraordinary circumstances which would justify a 100% downward variance from the bottom of the applicable guidelines range. Judge Bright, dissenting.
