172341P.pdf   05/07/2019  United States  v.  Brandon House
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  17-2341
                          and No:  17-2850
   U.S. District Court for the Western District of Missouri - Springfield   
   [PUBLISHED] [Kelly, Author, with Gruender and Grasz, Circuit Judges] 
   Criminal case - Criminal law and sentencing. Reviewed under the plain 
   error standard because the issues were not raised before the district 
   court, neither defendant could establish the district court's alleged 
   failure to follow the procedures to establish prior convictions as 
   required by 21 U.S.C. Sec. 851 affected their substantial rights; if the 
   district court made certain Rule 11 errors, the errors were harmless and 
   did not affect defendant House's substantial rights; the district court 
   did not err in determining the amount of drugs attributable to defendant 
   Van Pelt for sentencing purposes, nor did it err in imposing a leadership 
   role enhancement under Guidelines Sec. 3B1.1(c)
