   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  15-3016
   U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Iowa - Des Moines   
   [PUBLISHED] [Shepherd, Author, with Chief Judge Riley and Loken, Circuit 
   Judges] 
   Criminal Case - conviction. Sufficient evidence supported conviction for 
   conspiracy to distribute methamphetamine even though jury acquitted on 
   charge of possession with intent to distribute and possession of a firearm 
   in furtherance of a drug trafficking crime. District court did not err in 
   denying motion for acquittal of conspiracy conviction. District court did 
   not abuse its discretion in giving deliberate ignorance or willful 
   blindness instruction, as there was evidence to support the inference that 
   she either had actual knowledge of the methamphetamine or deliberately 
   failed to inquire about it.
