___________ Submitted: September 7, 2006 Filed: September 18, 2006

___________ Before MURPHY, BYE, and MELLOY, Circuit Judges.

___________ PER CURIAM. In this direct criminal appeal, Bobby Moser challenges the sentence the district court 1 imposed following his pleas of guilty to various conspiracies, fraud, money laundering, obstruction of justice, trans portation of stolen property, and false declaration. The district court sentenced Moser to 188 months in prison and 3 years of supervised release. We affirm.-2- Moser first argues the district court erre d in calculating the advisory Sentencing Guidelines imprisonment range by not including a reduction under U.S.S.G. § 3E1.1 for accepting responsibility. Moser had r eceived an increase under U.S.S.G. § 3C1.1 for obstructing justice, and we conclude the district court “properly considered [Moser’s] circumstances and did not commit clear error in concluding that [Moser’s] situation was not exceptional.” See United States v. Muro , 357 F.3d 743, 745 (8th Cir. 2004) (per curiam) (totality-of-circumsta nces analysis is applied to determine whether case is “extraordinary” for purposes of applying both § 3C1.1 and § 3E1.1; district court should consider, inter alia, whether obstructive conduct was isolated incident, whether defendant ad mitted and recanted his obstructive conduct, and to what degree he accepted responsib ility and aided the prosecution). It was undisputed that, at the same time Moser was engaging in plea negotiations and had agreed to plead guilty in two prosecutions, he also was engaging in numerous questionable or illegal transactions and money transfers and accumulating a large amount of cash, so he could flee to Madaga scar. Additionally, the district court did not clearly err in finding that, after being apprehended and retrieved from Madagascar, Moser had not been entirely forthcoming indisclosing the location of assets for forfeiture. See United States v. Londondio , 420 F.3d 777, 789 (8th Cir. 2005) (whether defendant has accepted responsibility is factual question particularly suited for sentencing court and court’s determination is therefore accorded “great deference”); Muro , 357 F.3d at 745 (it is not genera lly extraordinary when defendant merely ceases obstructive conduct; defendant must earn acceptance of responsibility by performing positive actions that counter his negative ones).
We also reject Moser’s argument that application of the remedial opinion in United States v. Booker , 543 U.S. 220 (2005), violated his due process rights. See United States v. Wade , 435 F.3d 829, 831-32 (8th Cir. 2006) (per curiam) (rejecting defendant’s argument that district court vi olated her right to due process by treating Guidelines as advisory in sentencing her for conduct that occurred pre-Booker : Ex Post Facto Clause does not apply to judi ciary, so proper challenge is through due-3- process; district court followed directions from Bookerremedial opinion; district court and court of appeals are “obliged to fo llow the Supreme Court’s directive”; and “Supreme Court would not direct [courts] to violate the Constitution”). Finally, we find that Moser’s sentence is not unreasonabl e based upon his arguments in this court, and Moser has pointed to nothing else in the record to rebut the presumption that his sentence at the bottom of th e applicable Guidelines ra nge is reasonable. See United States v. Lincoln , 413 F.3d 716, 717-18 (8th Cir.) (sentence within applicable Guidelines range is presumptively reasonabl e and burden is on defe ndant to rebut that presumption), cert. denied , 126 S. Ct. 840 (2005).
Accordingly, we affirm.
