United States v. Ford, No. 22-1276 (1st Cir. 2023)
Annotate this Case
The First Circuit affirmed the judgment of the district court sentencing Defendant to a downwardly variant sentence of twenty-four months' imprisonment in connection with her plea of guilty to conspiring to distribute and possess with intent to distribute illegal drugs, holding that there was no error.
On appeal, Defendant argued that the district court erroneously ruled against her on her factual disputes and erred in attributing to her a cache of fentanyl found in the home of her boyfriend. The First Circuit affirmed, holding (1) the judge necessarily resolved the factual disputes at issue against Defendant; and (2) any error as to the attribution of the drugs found in Defendant's boyfriend's home was harmless.
