United States v. Monzo, No. 16-10222 (11th Cir. 2017)
Annotate this CaseDefendant appealed his 120 month sentence after pleading guilty to one count of conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute 50 grams or more of methamphetamine. The court rejected defendant's claim that he was entitled to a minor-role reduction because he merely acted as a low-level courier for methamphetamine, concluding that he had facilitated the flow of drugs in the country, he had control over which banks the proceeds from the sale went to, and he was held responsible only for his conduct in the conspiracy; the district court did not err by assessing three criminal history points for his 2001 Nevada felony drug-possession conviction; and, even if the district court erred in calculating defendant's concealing-identity conviction in the computation of his criminal history category, the error was harmless.
