Annotate this CaseDefendant appealed from his sentence of 72 months' imprisonment for participation in a conspiracy to violate the federal narcotics laws and for participating in a money-laundering conspiracy. The court held that the district court did not err in denying defendant's motion to compel the government to provide him with a recommendation letter under U.S.S.G. 5K1.1 or 18 U.S.C. 3553(e) pursuant to a Cooperation Agreement where the government had a good-faith belief that defendant had breached the Agreement by committing further crimes and exercised its discretion in deciding not to file the motion. The court also held that defendant's sentence was neither substantively nor procedurally unreasonable. Accordingly, the court affirmed the judgment of the district court.
