U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 10-3381
U.S. District Court for the District of South Dakota - Pierre
[PUBLISHED] [Wollman, Author, with Murphy and Gruender, Circuit Judges]
Criminal case - Sentencing. District court did not commit plain error in
determining that defendant's criminal history score underrepresented his
actual criminal history and warranted an upward departure to criminal
history category IV; district court adequately explained its 3553(a)
analysis; sentence was not substantively unreasonable and did not rely on
factors such as race, national origin or economic status.
