and No: 06-2165
U. S. District Court for the Northern District of Iowa - Dubuque
[PUBLISHED] [Gruender, Author, with Wollman and Riley, Circuit Judges]
Criminal case - Criminal law and sentencing. District court's findings
concerning credibility of witnesses on the issue of whether defendant
was given his Miranda warnings were supported by the record and were
not clearly erroneous; evidence was sufficient to support conspiracy
conviction; district court made sufficient findings to support the
imposition of an obstruction-of-justice enhancement under Guidelines
Sec. 3C1.1; defendant was not eligible for an acceptance-of-responsibility
reduction in light of the court's imposition of the obstruction-of-justice
enhancement.
