United States Ninth Circuit

Defendants' convictions and sentences for conspiracy to possess cocaine with intent to distribute and use of a firearm in furtherance of a drug trafficking offense, arising out of a reverse sting operation in which an ATF undercover agent recruited defendants to carry out an armed robbery of a fictional cocaine stash house, are affirmed, where: 1) the district court properly denied defendants' motion to dismiss for outrageous government conduct; and 2) the district court properly rejected defendants' sentencing entrapment argument.
