U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 19-3163
and No: 19-3461
U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Iowa - Des Moines
[PUBLISHED] [Benton, Author, with Smith, Chief Judge, and Kobes, Circuit
Judge]
Criminal case - Sentencing. No error in calculating the amount of drugs
attributable to defendant McSmith under Guidelines Sec. 2D1.1; the court
did not err in imposing a three-level manager/supervisor role enhancement
for McSmith under Guidelines Sec. 3B1.1; a criminal history point was
properly assessed against McSmith for a 2019 sentence as it was imposed
prior to sentencing on the instant offense and was for separate conduct;
nor did the court err in assessing criminal history points after
determining McSmith had committed the current offense while subject to
court supervision; neither McSmith's nor defendant Teagues's sentences
were substantively unreasonable.
