U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 99-3881
and No: 99-3882
Southern District of Iowa
Criminal case - Sentencing Guidelines. Court did not err in
considering two prior drug convictions to impose a mandatory
life sentence; courts which sentenced defendant in those cases
were not required to warn him that his guilty pleas might have a
severe impact in the event he committed future crimes; court
did not err in refusing to compel government to file a 5K1.1 motion.
