083821P.pdf   07/29/2009  United States  v.  George Tonks
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  08-3821
   U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Iowa - Cedar Rapids   
   [PUBLISHED] [Shepherd, Author, with Murphy and Smith, Circuit Judges]
   Criminal case - Sentencing. District court did not clearly err in denying
   defendant's request for an acceptance-of-responsibility reduction when
   his comments showed he did not take responsibility for the fraud and
   attempted to portray himself as the victim; court followed the proper
   procedure and applied the relevant factors in determining whether the
   sentence in this case should be consecutive to two other sentences, and
   its decision to impose a consecutive sentence was reasonable.
