United States First Circuit

Defendants' sentences for their convictions related to a large drug trafficking conspiracy are affirmed, where: 1) there was no Alleyne error because all elements of the defendants' crimes of conviction were admitted as part of the guilty pleas and neither defendant was sentenced based on a mandatory minimum sentence; and 2) defendants' respective evidentiary challenges fail.
