U.S. v. Bostick

Dist. Ct. did not err in sentencing defendant to below-Guidelines, 125-month term of incarceration on drug distribution charge, even though defendant asserted that Dist. Ct. should have calculated his sentence as if he had sold methamphetamine, instead of "ice." While guideline for selling methamphetamine is only 77 to 96 months, Dist. Ct. could properly decline defendant’s request to disregard Guideline’s distinction between methamphetamine and ice, and record otherwise showed that Dist. Ct. addressed defendant’s challenge to said distinction as set forth in Guidelines. As such, Dist. Ct. could base defendant's sentence on amount and purity of drug he distributed.
