United States First Circuit

Defendant's conviction for drug-trafficking conspiracy and his sentence are affirmed, where: 1) the district court had no obligation to inform the defendant, at the change-of-plea hearing, about the possibility that a consecutive sentence might be imposed; 2) defendant's guilty plea is therefore valid; and 3) the district court did not err in sentencing defendant.
