   U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota - St. Paul   
   [PUBLISHED] [Wollman, Author, with Riley, Chief Judge, and
   Bright, Circuit Judge]
Criminal case - criminal law and sentencing. No error in denying defendants' requests for minor-role reduction as their level of involvement supported the district court's conclusion that their roles were not minor; district court may consider the drug quantities in ruling on the request for a minor role reduction; no error in admitting guns seized from defendant Quintero's mother's garage as firearms are a tool of the drug trade and their presence in an area where drugs were received and dispatched was admissible under Rule 401; no error in imposing a supervisory role enhancement for defendant Quintero as he served as a manager in the conspiracy. Judge Bright, concurring.
