231260P.pdf   02/22/2024  United States  v.  Timothy Angel
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  23-1260
   U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Iowa - Eastern   
   [PUBLISHED] [Kelly, Author, with Benton and Shepherd, Circuit Judges] 
   Criminal case - Sentencing. Where defendant conceded he shot at two people 
   after a dispute inside of a nightclub, the district court did not clearly 
   err in finding that defendant had the specific intent to kill, that he 
   acted with premeditation, and that he escalated the situation by 
   continuing the confrontation outside of the club; the district court thus 
   did not err in applying a Guidelines cross-reference for attempted murder 
   or in rejecting defendant's self-defense argument when calculating his 
   base offense level at sentencing.
