United States Seventh Circuit

Defendants' convictions for drug and firearm offenses related to an undercover sting to rob a "drug stash house" are affirmed where: 1) the district court did not err by refusing to give a jury instruction on entrapment as there is no evidence that defendant was not predisposed to join in the proposed robbery plan; and 2) co-defendant's sentence is affirmed as he cannot show that his is that "rare case" in which a within guidelines sentence should be considered unreasonable.
