   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  08-1102
   U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Iowa - Cedar Rapids   
   [PUBLISHED] [Murphy, Author, with Bye and Shepherd, Circuit Judges]
   Criminal case - Sentencing. District court did not err in imposing 
   increases in defendant's offense level based on his role in the offense and
   obstruction of justice; district court did not err in denying defendant's
   request for an acceptance-of-responsibility adjustment under Guidelines
   Sec. 3E1.1; decision not to grant a downward departure based on a
   variety of personal history factors was unreviewable on appeal; sentence
   was not unreasonable; claim of ineffective assistance of counsel should
   be brought in a habeas proceeding. Judge Bye, concurring in part (on the
   issue of the role enhancement) and dissenting in part (on the issues of the
   obstruction of justice enhancement and the denial of an acceptance of
   responsibility reduction).
