   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  20-2782
   U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Iowa - Central   
   [PUBLISHED] [Benton, Author, with Gruender and Grasz, Circuit Judges] 
   Criminal case - Sentencing. Where defendant withdrew his objection to the 
   career offender designation at sentencing, his challenge to whether a 
   prior conviction was a serious drug offense under 18 U.S.C. Sec. 924(e) 
   was waived; defendant's conviction for conspiracy to manufacture 
   methamphetamine in violation of Iowa Code Sec. 124.401(1)(c)(6) was a 
   serious drug offense for purposes of the Armed Career Criminal Act, and 
   defendant was properly sentenced as an Armed Career Criminal; on this 
   record, the district court did not err in imposing a cross-reference to 
   Guidelines Sec. 2A2.1 based on the court's finding defendant attempted 
   first-degree murder; within-guidelines range sentence was not 
   substantively unreasonable.
