U.S. v. Boyd

Dist. Ct. did not err in sentencing defendant to total sentence of 334-month term of incarceration comprising of 274-month term on drug distribution charge plus consecutive 60-month term for possession of firearm in furtherance of drug trafficking offense. Ct. rejected defendant's argument that 10-year mandatory minimum sentence for instant drug offense precluded Dist. Ct. from imposing consecutive sentence for firearm charge. However, Dist. Ct. erred when ordering defendant to pay fine and special assessments through Inmate Financial Responsibility Program since said program is voluntary to inmates.
