U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 10-1179
U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota - St. Paul
[PUBLISHED] [Shepherd, Author, with Loken and Melloy, Circuit Judges]
Criminal case - Criminal law and sentencing. Court would not consider
claim of ineffective assistance of counsel at trial as that claim requires
further development of the factual record and should be raised in a
Section 2255 proceeding; district court did not err in concluding
defendant was not entitled to safety-valve sentencing based on its finding
that she failed to provide the government with truthful and consistent
information; court would not address a claim of error concerning denial of
a two-level reduction for acceptance of responsibility as defendant could
not be sentenced below the statutory minimum in light of the district
court's denial of safety-valve sentencing.
