U.S. v. Araujo

Dist. Ct. did not err in sentencing defendant to 235-month term of incarceration on drug conspiracy charge based in part on finding that defendant trafficked in more than 30 kilograms of heroin. Dist. Ct. could properly base drug quantity calculation on defendant’s admission contained in his plea proffer, even though plea agreement contained provision that allowed defendant to dispute fact that conspiracy involved over 30 kilograms of heroin, since terms of proffer letter allowed govt. to use defendant’s admission at sentencing hearing once defendant took position that was inconsistent with his proffer.
