U.S. v. Newbern

Dist. Ct. did not err in sentencing defendant to 188-month term of incarceration as career offender under section 4B1.1 on charge of distribution of crack cocaine. Ct. rejected defendant's argument that limited remand was required to permit Dist. Ct. to determine whether it would have given same sentence if it had been free to reject section 4B1.1 based on any policy disagreement with crack/powder sentence disparity, after Ct. noted that defendant's offense level was same regardless of whether his distribution charge concerned crack or powder cocaine.
