   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  20-1219
   U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Iowa - Davenport   
   [PUBLISHED] [Erickson, Author, with Smith, Chief Judge, and Kelly, Circuit 
   Judge] 
   Criminal case - Criminal law and sentencing. Assuming for the purposes of 
   argument that defendant was seized after he voluntarily stopped his 
   vehicle, the seizure was justified under the community caretaker exception 
   where the officers were reasonably concerned about the welfare of 
   defendant's young child; the district court properly calculated 
   defendant's guidelines range, weighed the relevant 3553(a) factors, and 
   imposed a reasonable sentence.
