United States Eighth Circuit

A 420 month sentence pursuant to defendant's pleas to the sexual exploitation of a child, possession of child pornography, and distribution of cocaine is affirmed as: 1) the government's pursuit of sentencing enhancements did not breach an agreement not to file additional criminal charges; 2) under the facts, the application of both enhancements under sections 2G2.1(d)(1) and 4B1.5(b)(1) of the Guidelines did not constitute double counting; and 3) the sentence was not unreasonable.
