United States Eighth Circuit
US v. Resinos, 10-1607
Defendant's sentence for five counts of possession of methamphetamine with intent to distribute is affirmed where: 1) the district court properly reached the 50-gram threshold of 18 U.S.C. section 841(b)(1)(A); and 2) because section 841(b)(1) established minimum sentences based on the amount of the specific substance "involv[ed]" in the violation of section 841(a), Jenkins II necessarily decided that the cash converted came entirely from the sale of cocaine base.
