071068P.pdf   12/04/2007  United States of America  v.  Dominique Betts
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  07-1068
   U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri - Cape Girardeau   
   [PUBLISHED] [Riley, Author, with Melloy and Colloton, Circuit
   Judges]
   Criminal Case - sentence. 120 month-sentence, to run consecutively to
   state sentence, is affirmed. District court did not err in applying a four
   offense level enhancement for use of firearm in connection with another
   felony in the absence of a conviction for another felony because the
   elements of state law offense and the absence of any defense of self
   defense were established. Decision not to depart downward is not
   reviewable. Decision to run sentence consecutive to state sentence was
   not unreasonable.
