083871P.pdf 01/11/2010 United States v. Robert Deans
U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 08-3871
U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota - St. Paul
[PUBLISHED] [Loken, Author, with Murphy and Melloy, Circuit Judges]
Criminal case - Sentencing. District court did not err in denying
defendant's request for a minor-role reduction under Guidelines Sec.
3B1.2(b); nor did the court abuse its discretion by refusing to grant a
downward departure or variance on the theory that defendant's criminal
history category over-represented the seriousness of his criminal history;
imposition of a five-year term of supervised release was proper under 21
U.S.C. Sec. 841(b)(1)(c).
