U.S. v. White

Dist. Ct. did not err in sentencing defendant to 10-year term of incarceration on conspiracy to distribute heroin charge, where said sentence was based in part on finding that defendant qualified for career-offender sentencing treatment under section 4B1.12 of USSG. Ct. rejected defendant’s argument that his conspiracy conviction did not qualify him for career-offender treatment as Application Note 1 of career-offender guideline advised that controlled substances offenses include for purposes of career-offender sentencing inchoate offenses of aiding and abetting, conspiracy and attempt.
