   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  16-2890
                          and No:  16-3268
   U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Iowa - Des Moines   
   [PUBLISHED] [Riley, Author, with Wollman and Loken, Circuit Judges] 
   Criminal cases - Sentencing. Defendant withdrew his objection to career 
   offender sentencing in exchange for a minor role reduction and thereby 
   waived his right to challenge use of his Iowa burglary convictions for 
   career offender purposes; the sentencing record shows the district court 
   fully appreciated defendant's position regarding a downward variance based 
   on his difficult childhood and mental-health problems, and the court did 
   not abuse its discretion in weighing these arguments and giving other 
   factors greater weight.
