United States Seventh Circuit

Conviction and sentence on a defendant as a career offender for multiple drug related crimes is affirmed as, although the defendant's status as a career criminal has had the effect of more than doubling his guideline range from 120-135 up to 262-327 months' imprisonment, there is no error in the district court's decisions that led to it.
