   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  17-3046
   U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Iowa - Dubuque   
[PUBLISHED] [Erickson, Author, with Loken and Gruender, Circuit Judges] Criminal case - Criminal law. Evidence was sufficient to support defendant's convictions for conspiracy to distribute heroin and furanylfentanyl and distribution of the drugs resulting in death and serious injury; sentencing enhancement found in 21 U.S.C. Sec. 841(b)(1)(C) was sustainable on this record as the expert testimony provided by the medical professionals established beyond a reasonable doubt that two victims would not have overdosed "but-for" the use of furanylfentanyl and that the third victim would not have died "but-for" the use of furanylfentanyl; nothing in Burrage or the plain language of the statute limits criminal responsibility to only the last person to distribute the drug before the harm occurs.
