United States Sixth Circuit

Defendant's conviction for drug related crimes and a 96-month sentence are affirmed where: 1) the district court meaningfully considered defendant's case and mitigation arguments; 2) defendant's sentence is substantively reasonable; and 3) the record flatly contradicts defendant's claim that he did not voluntarily, knowingly, and intelligently plead guilty.
