U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 15-1790
U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Iowa - Des Moines
[PUBLISHED] [Bye, Author, with Wollman and Shepherd, Circuit Judges]
Criminal Case - Sentencing. District court did not clearly err in
increasing offense level for obstruction of justice under Guidelines sec.
3C1.1, as attempts to suborn testimony is sufficient and proof of
prejudice is not required in all cases. The district court noted it
considered all factors under section 3553(a); proper weight was given to
those factors and thus the sentence is not substantively unreasonable.
