123298P.pdf   05/17/2013  United States  v.  Curtis Grandon
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  12-3298
   U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Iowa - Cedar Rapids   
   [PUBLISHED] [Riley, Author, with Bye and Benton, Circuit Judges]
   Criminal case - Sentencing. The district court did not err in imposing
   an upward variance based on its finding, by a preponderance of the
   evidence, that defendant was involved in an uncharged shooting;
   additionally, the upward variance did not result in an unreasonable
   sentence; since the district court did not err in varying upward, any
   error in departing upward under Guidelines Sec. 4A1.3, which the
   court expressed as an alternative basis for the sentence, was harmless.
