United States Fifth Circuit

In appeal based on multiple arguments by multiple defendants, all denied, court did not err in declining to apply a proximate cause or reasonable foreseeability test before enhancing a sentence under U.S.S.G. section 2D1.1(a)(2), or in enhancing sentence for deaths "resulting from" drugs purchased from an appellant.
