Annotate this Case
U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit - 97 F.3d 1456 (8th Cir. 1996) Submitted: September 4, 1996. Filed: September 20, 1996

Before BOWMAN, MAGILL, and LOKEN, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM.


This is a consolidated appeal. Herbert Brandenburg appeals the district court's1  order denying his 28 U.S.C. § 2255 motion. He raised the following issues: (1) denial of the right to a speedy trial; (2) denial of due process by prosecutorial misconduct; (3) misinterpretation of U.S.S.G. § 1B1.3(a) (1) (B); (4) erroneous failure to apply U.S.S.G. § 3B1.2; (5) failure to make express findings as to relevant conduct; and (6) ineffective assistance of counsel. We conclude the district court did not err in denying relief and that an opinion would lack precedential value. Co-defendant Willie L. Ricks appeals the district court's2  order denying his motion to reduce his sentence. We likewise conclude the district court did not err in finding that Ricks--by failing to provide the government with all the information he possessed--did not fulfill the requirements of 18 U.S.C. § 3553(f) (5). See United States v. Romo, 81 F.3d 84, 86 (8th Cir. 1996) (standard of review).

Accordingly, we affirm the judgments of the district court. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
