U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 16-1596
U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Iowa - Cedar Rapids
[PUBLISHED] [Riley, Author, with Loken and Benton, Circuit Judges]
Criminal case - Sentencing. The district court did not err in calculating
the value of the counterfeit goods in this prosecution for trafficking in
counterfeit mark goods; the district court did not err in including all of
the goods in a "knock offs" sales event where defendant was in charge of
the venue and had organized the event; no error in denying defendant's
request for an acceptance-of-responsibility reduction as defendant had not
voluntarily withdrawn from participation in the criminal conduct and had
continued his conduct while on pre-trial release; top-of-the-guidelines
sentence was not substantively unreasonable.
