U.S. v. Sandoval-Velazco

Dist. Ct. did not err in sentencing defendant to 135-month term of incarceration on drug conspiracy charge, even though defendant argued that he was entitled to minor role sentence reduction based on fact that defendant served as drug/money courier in conspiracy. Dist. Ct. could properly find that defendant’s role in conspiracy was not substantially less culpable than “average member” of conspiracy given large volume of drugs and money that defendant handled on behalf of conspiracy for over one year. Fact that defendant took directions from others in conspiracy did not require different result.
