United States Eighth Circuit

Defendant's sentence for distributing cocaine base and being a felon in possession of a firearm is affirmed where: 1) the offense described in Iowa Code section 321.279(2) was a crime of violence for the same reasons the court held in Malloy that section 321.279(3) is a crime of violence; and 2) the court's review of defendant's sentence did not indicate that the district court abused its discretion.
