063827P.pdf   09/06/2007  USA  v.  Juan Marquez-Alvarad
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  06-3827
   U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Iowa - Des Moines   
   [PUBLISHED] [Wollman, Author, with Loken, Chief Judge, and John
   R. Gibson, Circuit Judge]
Criminal case - criminal law and sentencing. Admission of evidence under Rule 404(b) that defendant engaged in unrelated cocaine dealing was not an abuse of the district court's discretion as the evidence went to defendant's knowledge and intent to pursue the conspiracy at issue; no error in imposing an upward adjustment based on defendant's leadership role in the offense.
