United States First Circuit

Conviction and sentence based on guilty plea to drug-trafficking charge is affirmed over defendant's claims that: 1) he should be permitted to withdraw his guilty plea as he did not knowingly enter that plea; 2) his sentence should be vacated as the two prior convictions that the sentencing court used as predicates for his career offender designation were inadequately substantiated; and 3) the court committed various sentencing errors.
