163356P.pdf   05/18/2017  United States  v.  David Cartagena
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  16-3356
   U.S. District Court for the Western District of Missouri - Kansas City   
   [PUBLISHED] [Shepherd, Author, with Riley and Beam, Circuit Judges] 
   Criminal Case - sentence. District court did not plainly err in denying a 
   minimal role adjustment, even though the district court did not expressly 
   refer to the factors set forth in commentary to U.S.S.G sec. 3B1.2, as 
   Cartegena did not show a reasonable probability that he would have 
   received a minimal role adjustment or a lesser sentence; merely showing 
   less culpability does not entitled defendant to adjustment. District court 
   did not abused its discretion in sentence of 36 months above the mandatory 
   minimum after it considered the section 3553(a) factors; sentence was not 
   substantively unreasonable.
