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.
