111070P.pdf   01/05/2012  United States  v.  Nichole Forde
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  11-1070
                          and No:  11-1071
   U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Iowa - Cedar Rapids   
   [PUBLISHED] [Chief Judge Riley, Author, with Shepherd, Circuit
   Judge, and Magnuson, District Judge]
   Criminal Cases - sentence. Forde's 327-month sentence was not
   unreasonable. District court was within its discretion to reject claim that
   abusive relationship turned her into a drug dealer and to consider
   government's decision not to file an information to establish prior
   conviction. Toliver's challenge of imposition of special condition
   prohibiting from using alcohol and entering bars or taverns, while a close
   question, was not an abuse of discretion because evidence showed he was
   drug dependent and related to rehabilitation.
