Affirmed

Dist. Ct. did not err in sentencing defendant to 91-month term of incarceration on conspiracy to commit Mann Act robbery of grocery store, even though: (1) said sentence was 48 months beyond applicable guideline range; and (2) Dist. Ct. justified said departure on finding as relevant conduct fact that defendant had previously participated in uncharged drug dealer robberies. Dist. Ct. could properly find that charged robbery conspiracy had evolved from drug dealer robberies.
