United States Eleventh Circuit

A life sentence for a felony count involving a crack cocaine and powder cocaine offense is affirmed over claims of error that: 1) Amendment 706 to the sentencing guidelines lowered his base offense level by two levels and, as a result, lowered his guidelines range; and 2) the district court should recalculate the drug quantities for which he is accountable in light of US v. Booker and Kimbrough v. U.S.
