   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  11-3402
   U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota - St. Paul   
   [PUBLISHED] [Melloy, Author, with Bye and Smith, Circuit Judges]
Criminal case - Sentencing. For the court's prior opinion in the case, see U.S. v. McLain, 646 F.3d 599 (8th Cir. 2011). On remand, the district court expressly consulted with counsel to confirm that neither party was seeking an upward or downward departure, and defendant could not argue on appeal that the court had erred in failing to consider the application of a departure; district court correctly applied a preponderance-of-the-evidence standard at sentencing; sentence was not substantively unreasonable.
