UNITED STATES v. DUARTE CAMACHO (2020)

United States Court of Appeals, Eleventh Circuit.

UNITED STATES of America, Plaintiff-Appellee, v. Jesus Eduardo DUARTE CAMACHO, Defendant-Appellant.

No. 18-14880

Decided: July 09, 2020

Before WILSON and JILL PRYOR, Circuit Judges, and CORRIGAN,* District Judge.

Alison B. Prout, Jane Elizabeth McBath, Gabriel Adam Mendel, U.S. Attorney Service - Northern District of Georgia, U.S. Attorney's Office, Atlanta, GA, Plaintiff - Appellee Brian Mendelsohn, W. Matthew Dodge, Federal Defender Program, Inc., Atlanta, GA, for Defendant - Appellant

Jesus Eduardo Duarte Camacho appeals his 210-month sentence for conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute at least 500 grams of methamphetamine, possession with intent to distribute at least 500 grams of methamphetamine, and possession of a firearm in furtherance of a drug-trafficking crime. On appeal, he argues that the district court erred at sentencing when it denied a minor-role reduction under U.S.S.G. § 3B1.2. After reviewing the record and the briefs, and with the benefit of oral argument, we conclude that the district court did not clearly err in denying Camacho's request for a minor-role reduction. See United States v. Bernal-Benitez, 594 F.3d 1303, 1320 (11th Cir. 2010) (stating that we review a district court's denial of a role reduction for clear error). Therefore, we affirm Camacho's sentence.

AFFIRMED.
