United States v. Salazar-Aleman, No. 12-3746 (8th Cir. 2013)
Annotate this CaseDefendant appealed his sentence after pleading guilty to aiding and abetting the possession of more than 500 grams of methamphetamine with intent to distribute. The court concluded that the district court's denial of a mitigating role reduction under U.S.S.G. 3B1.2 was not clear error; there was no procedural error in defendant's sentence where the district court considered the 18 U.S.C. 3553(a) factors and the arguments defendant presented; and defendant's sentence was substantively reasonable where the district court did not abuse its discretion in sentencing defendant to 108 months' imprisonment. Accordingly, the court affirmed the judgment of the district court.
