United States Eighth Circuit

Sentence for wire fraud and money laundering is affirmed where: 1) defendant did not have a Sixth Amendment right to counsel during a presentence report investigation as it was not a critical stage of the prosecution; and 2) district court did not err in imposing a sentencing enhancement for obstruction of justice or in denying defendant's request for an acceptance of-responsibility reduction.
