   U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Iowa - Eastern   
   [PUBLISHED] [Colloton, Author, with Kelly and Kobes, Circuit Judges] 
   Criminal case -Sentencing. In this multi-defendant appeal, the district 
   court did not err in imposing a two-level increase under Guidelines 
   Sec.2D1.1(b)(5) for importation of methamphetamine, as the evidence 
   supported the court's conclusion that the drug came from labs in Mexico; 
   the guideline section does not require that the defendants knew the drugs 
   were imported; the court did not err in applying an aggravating role 
   enhancement on defendant Werkmeister for his supervisory role in the 
   offense; nor did Workmeister's sentence create an unwarranted sentencing 
   disparity with defendant Martinez-Garcia; the court correctly determined 
   defendant Robey's criminal history score as VI under Guidelines Sec. 
   4B1.1(b); the district court did not err in determining defendant Garcia 
   was not eligible for below-statutory-minimum sentencing under 18 U.S.C. 
   Sec. 3553(f); no error in imposing a special condition of supervised 
   release related to alcohol in defendant Garcia's supervised release 
   conditions.
