United States Sixth Circuit

A sentence for using a firearm during, and in relation to, a drug trafficking offense is affirmed where: 1) defendant was not challenging the reasonableness of the sentence; and 2) the circuit court generally does not review a district court's decision not to depart downward, and no exception to that rule applied here.
