United States of America, Appellee, v. James P. Pazzanese, Appellant, 5 F.3d 533 (8th Cir. 1993)

James P. Pazzanese appeals the sentences imposed by the district court after we remanded for resentencing. United States v. Pazzanese, 982 F.2d 251 (8th Cir. 1992). Pazzanese contends the district court should have given him a mitigating role reduction. See U.S.S.G. Sec. 3B1.2 (Nov. 1992). Pazzanese did not raise this issue in his earlier appeal. See United States v. Montoya, 979 F.2d 136, 138 (8th Cir. 1992) (court need not consider issue first raised after remand for resentencing). Nevertheless, we agree with the district court's initial ruling denying the reduction because Pazzanese played a significant role in the offense.

Accordingly, we affirm.
