United States First Circuit

Affirmed a sentence for possession with intent to distribute cocaine and heroin. A man who pleaded guilty after police caught him couriering drugs cross-country in his backpack challenged the length of his sentence. Rejecting his arguments, the First Circuit emphasized that the district court found him to be a career offender but sentenced him to a below-guidelines term of 78 months in prison.
