View this case - free  

Overview: Defendant's appeal was dismissed because it was frivolous. His plea of guilty to violating 21 U.S.C.S. §§ 841(a)(1) and 846 was in accordance with Fed. R. Crim. P. 11, and departure under USSG § 5K2.13 was inappropriate because defendant's significantly reduced mental capacity apparently was caused by voluntary use of drugs or other intoxicants.

View this case - free  

Overview: Defendant's 84-month sentence for violations of 18 U.S.C.S. §§ 371 and 1028A(a)(1) did not violate his Sixth Amendment rights because USSG § 2B1.1, cmt., application n. 3(A), directed application of the greater of actual loss or intended loss in determining defendant's base offense level, and the district court was not bound by the jury's findings.
