   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  09-3298
   U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Iowa, Waterloo   
   [PUBLISHED] [Bye, Author, with John R. Gibson and Gruender,
   Circuit Judges]
   Criminal case - Sentencing. It was not error for the court to hear a
   sentencing statement concerning a dropped charge as the information
   concerned defendant's background, character and conduct; no error in
   imposing a four-level enhancement under Guidelines Sec. 2B1.1(b)(2) for
   the number of victims, and any error was harmless in light of the court's
   statement that the same sentence would be imposed whether a two or
   four-level enhancement was applied; no error in imposing an upward
   variance based on the nature of defendant's conduct and its impact on the
   victims.
