141546P.pdf   11/24/2014  United States  v.  Kendrick Maid
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  14-1546
   U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Iowa - Davenport   
   [PUBLISHED] [Gruender, Author, with Murphy and Smith, Circuit Judges] 
   Criminal Case - sentence. Conviction for assault while displaying a 
   dangerous weapon (Iowa Code sec. 708.1(3) qualifies as a threatened use of 
   physical force and categorically qualifies as a crime of violence under 
   USSG sec. 4B1.2(a)(1). Thus, district court did not err in determining 
   base offense level pursuant to sec. 2K2.1(a)(2). Within-guidelines range 
   sentence is presumed to be substantively reasonable. Record does not 
   reveal clear error of judgment in district court's decision that the 
   section 3553(a) factors, on the whole, justified the sentence.
