   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  16-1549
   U.S. District Court for the District of South Dakota - Sioux Falls   
[PUBLISHED] [Gruender, Author, with Colloton and Beam, Circuit Judges] Criminal case - Criminal law and sentencing. When cooperators recorded their phone calls with defendant, they were acting at the direction of law enforcement and were "acting under color of law;" the recordings were legal under 18 U.S.C. Sec. 2511(2)(c), and the district court did not err in denying defendant's motion to suppress; the district court did not abuse its discretion by refusing to instruct the jury that defendant faced a ten-year mandatory minimum if convicted of conspiracy to distribute 500 or more grams of meth; no error in imposing a two-level enhancement under Guidelines Sec. 3B1.1(c) for management role in the offense.
