How courts have described this case
Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.
- holding that a court can properly sentence a defendant based on the full range of the defendant’s conduct and not just on the conduct the defendant admitted committing
- holding the district court committed no error in failing to explain that the sentencing range would be based on the amount of drugs defendant was caught transporting and not on the lesser amount defendant pled guilty to possessing
- concluding the district court was “not required to calculate and explain the Guidelines sentence” to the defendant “before accepting the plea” because Rule 11 was satisfied “once [the defendant] was informed of the possible consequences enumerated in the Rule”
