U.S. v. Munoz

Dist. Ct. did not err in sentencing defendant to above-guideline 60-month term of incarceration on charge of conspiracy to produce fake identification and immigration documents. Ct. rejected defendant's claim that he was entitled to minor participant reduction where defendant played administrative role in directing others in conspiracy, and where police found $200,000 of conspiracy's money in defendant's home. Moreover, Ct. rejected defendant's claim that he was entitled to three-level reduction for acceptance of responsibility where Ct. found that defendant untruthfully minimized his participation in conspiracy and falsely denied knowing that his conduct was crime. Moreover, above-guideline sentence was reasonable given defendant's concession that he created approximately 30,000 fake documents.
