Annotate this CaseDefendant pled guilty to conspiracy to distribute methamphetamine. Defendant appealed the finding that he managed or supervised the conspiracy. The court held that the district court did not clearly err in enhancing defendant's sentence. One permissible view of the evidence is that he supervised the Des Moines deliveries and payment, and the exercise of "management responsibility over the property, assets, or activities of a criminal organization" could warrant enhancement under U.S.S.G. 3B1.1.
Court Description: Criminal case - Sentencing. District court did not err in imposing an enhancement under Guidelines Sec. 3B1.1(b) for a management role in the offense. [ June 01, 2012
