122402P.pdf   01/28/2013  United States  v.  David Foote
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  12-2402
   U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota - St. Paul   
   [PUBLISHED] [Benton, Author, with Wollman and Bye, Circuit Judges]
   Criminal case - Sentencing. A petty misdemeanor resulting in a fine is
   a sentence under the Guidelines, and the court holds that possession of
   marijuana is not similar to any enumerated exception in the Guidelines;
   as a result, defendant's Minnesota conviction for possession of marijuana
   counted as a point; additionally, defendant failed to timely provide all
   relevant and useful evidence before sentencing, a necessary prerequisite
   for eligibility for safety valve sentencing, and he was disqualified from
   safety-valve relief.
