U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 15-1416
U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Iowa, Waterloo
[PUBLISHED] [Gruender, Author, with Riley, Chief Judge, and Bright,
Circuit Judge]
Criminal case - Criminal law and sentencing. The government' pursuit of an
obstruction-of-justice enhancement did not violate the plea agreement; the
district court did not err in concluding defendant had encouraged a
witness to lie and that his statements had impeded the investigation;
having properly found defendant obstructed justice, the court did not
clearly err in denying him a reduction for acceptance-of-responsibility
under Guidelines Sec. 3E1.1
