U.S. v. Baines

Dist. Ct. did not err in sentencing defendant to 240-month term of incarceration on charge of conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute heroin based in part on finding as relevant conduct that defendant was responsible for in excess of 30 kilograms of uncharged heroin distribution. While defendant argued that he was responsible only for heroin that was at issue in charged offense, Dist. Ct. could properly find that defendant was responsible for uncharged heroin distribution that took place over two-year period, where various individuals testified that defendant supplied them with heroin over said period, and where record demonstrated commonality of sales in that said sales had same seller, same drug courier over same location and through use of same stash house, delivery points and drug supplier. Fact that drug sales that formed basis of relevant conduct finding concerned different quantities of heroin did not require different result.
