   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  18-1170
   U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota - St. Paul   
[PUBLISHED] [Kelly, Author, with Loken and Colloton, Circuit Judges] Criminal case - Sentencing. As defendant did not object to the fact of his tribal court convictions or his tribal arrests, or the factual descriptions of the convictions and arrests in the PSR, his claim that the district court erred in relying on the information in determining his sentence is reviewed for plain error; the district court did not rely on any information that was not otherwise available to the court and the parties and did not commit plain error; the sentence, while an upward variance, was not substantively unreasonable; although the court mentioned the disparity between state and federal sentences for this type of crime, the court did not give it significant weight and properly relied on 3553(a) factors in setting sentence.
