United States Eighth Circuit

Defendant's sentence for multiple drug and firearm offenses is affirmed in part and remanded in part where: 1) the district court did not err in enhancing his sentence for obstruction of justice, by including too much as relevant conduct, or by not crediting him for a minimal role; but 2) further proceedings were required due to recent retroactive changes in the sentencing guidelines pertaining to crack.
