United States v. Cruz, No. 11-2136 (10th Cir. 2012)
Annotate this CaseDefendant-Appellant Raul Cruz was convicted, after a jury trial, of possession with intent to distribute 50 grams or more of methamphetamine, and was sentenced to 63 months' imprisonment and three years' supervised release. On appeal, he argued that the district court erred (1) by not requiring the government to disclose a confidential informant involved in a controlled buy, and (2) in relying on certain disputed facts about the controlled buy contained in the PSR. Upon review, the Tenth Circuit found no abuse of the district court's discretion and affirmed Defendant's conviction and sentence.
