   U.S. District Court for the District of South Dakota - Sioux Falls   
   [PUBLISHED] [Gruender, Author, with Melloy and Beam, Circuit Judges]
   Criminal case - Criminal law and sentencing. Evidence was sufficient to
   support Diaz-Pellegaud's conviction for money laundering and conspiracy
   to distribute methamphetamine and marijuana; evidence was sufficient to
   support Garcia's conviction for conspiring to distribute methamphetamine
   and marijuana; district court did not err in denying Garcia's request for a
   minor role reduction under Guidelines Sec. 3B1.2; Garcia's sentence was
   not substantively unreasonable; evidence was sufficient to support
   Burgos-Valdez's conviction for conspiring to distribute
   methamphetamine; district court considered the 3553(a) factors in setting 
   Burgos-Valedez's sentence, and this sentence was not substantively
   unreasonable; in light of substantial evidence of Melendez-Rocha's guilt,
   the verdict was not swayed by an improper comment about her
   immigration status, and the district court's curative instruction was
   sufficient to alleviate any prejudice; no procedural error occurred in
   setting Melendez-Rocha's sentence, and the sentence was not
   unreasonable.
