United States Eighth Circuit

A sentence for conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute methamphetamine and cocaine is affirmed where: 1) the district court did not err in applying a four-level increase to defendant's offense level by finding that he was an organizer or leader of a criminal activity that involved five or more participants; and 2) it adequately considered the applicable statutory factors and the sentence was reasonable.
