Annotate this Case

Defendant entered a guilty plea, pursuant to a plea agreement, to conspiracy to distribute heroin, conspiracy to possess stolen firearms, and attempted witness tampering. The First Circuit affirmed Defendant’s convictions and sentence, holding (1) the district court did not err as a matter of law in including in its calculation drugs that Defendant personally consumed; and (2) the sentencing court did not miscalculate Defendant’s criminal history score, thus placing him into certain criminal history category III.
