                          and No:  13-1327
   U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Iowa - Des Moines   
   [PUBLISHED] [Colloton, Author, with Wollman and Gruender, Circuit Judges] 
   Criminal case - Criminal law and sentencing. District court did not err in 
   permitting a witness to testify regarding translation of certain 
   recordings as the witness, an experienced and certified interpreter, was 
   an expert under Rule 702; it was for the jury to determine if the 
   transcripts the interpreter prepared were reliable enough to weigh against 
   defendant Perez-Sanchez; evidence was sufficient to support 
   Perez-Sanchez's conviction for conspiracy and distribution and possession 
   of methamphetamine; no error in imposing an enhancement under Guidelines 
   Sec. 3B1.1(c) against defendant Gutierrez for his role in the offense.
