112154P.pdf   03/16/2012  United States  v.  Darrin Meirick
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  11-2154
   U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Iowa, Waterloo   
   [PUBLISHED] [Loken, Author, with Bright and Shepherd, Circuit Judges]
   Criminal case - Sentencing. Court would not conduct a rational basis
   review of Guidelines Sec. 2G2.2's base offense level and enhancements as
   defendant's sentence was attributable not to the provisions of the
   guideline but to the district court's unwillingness to exercise its 
   discretion to vary from those advisory provisions; defendant's appeal waiver
   precluded challenging the substantive reasonableness of his sentence.
