093309P.pdf 11/01/2010 United States v. James Moore
U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 09-3309
U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Iowa - Cedar Rapids
[PUBLISHED] [Loken, Author, with Bright and Gruender,
Circuit Judges]
Criminal case - Sentencing. For the court's prior opinion in the matter,
see United States v. Moore, 470 F.3d 767 (8th Cir. 2006), vacated and
remanded for reconsideration in light of Kimbrough v. United States, 552
U.S. 85 (2007). Moore v. United States, 552 U.S. 1090 (2008). The
sentence the district court imposed on remand was not unreasonable;
credibility determinations were within the province of the district court,
and its drug quantity calculations were not clearly erroneous; no error in
imposing a two-level increase for obstruction of justice based on the
district court's finding that Moore perjured himself at trial and at
sentencing; remaining issues in the appeal were briefed under Anders,
and the arguments are rejected. Judge Bright, Concurring.
