United States Eighth Circuit

A sentence imposed after defendant pleaded guilty to possession with intent to distribute methamphetamine within 1,000 feet of a school is affirmed where the sentence was not unreasonable, and the government did not breach the plea agreement by informing the court that it would ask the court to deny an acceptance-of-responsibility reduction if defendant frivolously contested relevant conduct at the sentencing.
