   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  15-1630
   U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Iowa - Council Bluffs   
   [PUBLISHED] [Bye, Author, with Wollman and Gruender, Circuit Judges] 
   Criminal case - Criminal law and sentencing. Evidence was sufficient to 
   support defendant's conviction for conspiring to distribute 
   methamphetamine; the district court did not plainly err in not striking, 
   sua sponte, a superseding indictment because it eliminated certain other 
   defendants from a count; claim that closing arguments denied defendant a 
   fair trial rejected; challenge to seating the jury because it was too 
   "pro-police" waived as defedant failed to raise any objection to the 
   seating of the jury; the court did not err in imposing an enhancement 
   under Guidelines Sec. 3C1.1 for obstruction of justice; district court 
   discussed the proper 3553(a) factors and did not impose a substantively 
   unreasonable sentence; no error in denying safety-valve relief as 
   defendant failed to show she ever truthfully provided the government all 
   information about the charged offense.
