United States First Circuit
US v. McIvery, 12-1257
In a case in which defendant was indicted under a legal regime that was modified by the subsequent passage of the Fair Sentencing Act of 2010 (FSA), Pub. L. No. 11-220, the sentence for guilty plea to drug charges and finding the drug quantities needed to calibrate the sentencing scales under Harris v. US, 536 U.S. 545 (2002), is affirmed over defendant's claims that the district court erred in imposing a mandatory minimum sentence and that its error is both structural and procedural.
