   U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Iowa - Des Moines   
   [PUBLISHED] [Wollman, Author, with Bye and Shepherd, Circuit Judges]
   Criminal case - Criminal law and sentencing. District court did not abuse
   its discretion by denying defendant's day-of-trial motion for a continuance

   when a district court considers a defendant's attitude, demeanor and
   outrageous protestation of innocence in exercising its sentencing decision.
