United States v. Maguire

by
Appellant pleaded guilty to possession of marijuana with intent to distribute and was sentenced to a sixty-month incarcerative term, the maximum sentence allowable under the statute of conviction. Appellant challenged his sentence on appeal. The First Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed the sentence, holding that the sentencing court did not err (1) in its drug-quantity calculation; (2) by enhancing Defendant’s offense level for obstruction of justice; (3) by refusing to reduce the offense level for acceptance of responsibility; (4) in deciding to eschew either a downward variance or departure; and (5) by choosing to impose a sixty-month sentence.
