   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  10-3138
   U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Iowa - Cedar Rapids   
   [PUBLISHED] [Shepherd, Author, with Smith and Bright, Circuit Judges]
   Criminal case - Sentencing. No error in imposing an enhancement under
   Guidelines Sec. 2D1.1(b)(1) for possession of a firearm in connection with
   defendant's drug offense or an enhancement under Guidelines Sec.
   3B1.1(C) for defendant's leadership role in the offense; drug quantity
   calculation was not erroneous; no error in denying request for a reduction
   for acceptance of responsibility as defendant made false statements,
   instructed his wife to lie to the grand jury and continued, even after his
   plea, to deny any connection between the firearm and his drug offense;
   sentence was not unreasonable in light of defendant's conduct, the
   quantity of drugs, and the escalating nature of his criminal behavior.
