U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota - St. Paul
[PUBLISHED] [Loken, Author, with Murphy and Shepherd, Circuit Judges]
Criminal Case - sentence. District court did not abuse its discretion in
sentencing defendant to 77 months, the bottom of the advisory guidelines

cultural assimilation. Lack of fast-track program is not a basis for a
departure under section 5K3.1.
