|
Overview: The denial of a mitigating-role reduction under U.S. Sentencing Guidelines Manual § 3B1.2 was not clearly erroneous because defendant's actual and relevant conduct were the same, his crew played a vital role to a drug conspiracy, providing fuel necessary for the delivery of drugs, and the evidence indicated that he was as culpable as codefendants.

|
Overview: Defendant's sentence was affirmed because, even though the district court erred by evaluating defendant's motion using the standard for a Fed. R. Crim. P. 33 motion based on newly discovered evidence instead of a Rule 33 motion based on Brady evidence, defendant did not show that he could not have possessed the evidence with reasonable diligence.

Overview: District court properly denied defendant a reduction in sentence pursuant to U.S. Sentencing Guidelines Manual § 3B1.2; defendant's participation as courier in drug transportation conspiracy, in violation of 21 U.S.C.S. § 846, was integral part of transporting the drugs, and defendant was not any less culpable than other couriers in that drug ring.

|
Overview: Leader enhancement based on facts found by the district court by a preponderance of the evidence was not plain error because, given the district court's consideration of the evidence and expression of no hesitation about the propriety of the sentence, defendant did not show that he would have received a lesser sentence under advisory guidelines.
