   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  18-2228
   U.S. District Court for the District of South Dakota - Rapid City   
[PUBLISHED] [Gruender, Author, with Benton and Grasz, Circuit Judges] Criminal Case - sentencing. On appeal following guilty plea to being accessory to second-degree murder and above-guidelines sentence of 180 months, claims of ineffective assistance of counsel will not be considered, as record not fully developed, ineffectiveness is not readily apparent or obviously deficient, and no plain miscarriage of justice in light of availability of action under 28 U.S.C. sec. 2255. District court did not commit procedural error, as basis for sentence was adequately explained, and any procedural error in imposing an upward departure was harmless because district court justified the sentenced by referencing both the grounds and the relevant section 3553(a) factors. District court did not abuse its discretion in imposing a substantively unreasonable sentence.
