   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  09-2723
                          and No:  09-2748
   U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Iowa - Ft. Dodge   
   [PUBLISHED] [Melloy, Author, with Loken and Bright, Circuit Judges]
Criminal case - Criminal law and sentencing. District court did not err in imposing a leadership role enhancement under Guidelines Sec. 3B1.1 as the record showed defendant Esquivel-Menendez directed or controlled defendant Umanzor's actions; defendant Umanzor did not move to withdraw his guilty plea so he cannot challenge the voluntariness of his plea for the first time in his direct appeal, and the issue should be addressed in a Section 2255 petition; the quantity of drugs inherent in defendant Umanzor's plea serves as the floor for any sentencing-related quantity determinations. Judge Loken joins in part of the decision and concurs in the result as to defendant Umanzor. Judge Bright, concurring.
