U.S. v. Robinson

Defendant pleaded guilty to charge of conspiracy to distribute 500 grams or more of substance containing methamphetamine under sections 841(a)(1), 841(b)(1)(A), and 846. While defendant insisted that he had pleaded guilty to only conspiracy involving lesser quantity of drugs under section 841(b)(1)(B), record showed that defendant had admitted to facts implicating him in instant greater offense involving distribution of 500 grams or more of drugs in documents filed before plea hearing, at plea hearing itself, by admitting to facts in pre-sentence report and at sentencing hearing. Ct. rejected defendant's claim that: (1) he entered plea to instant charge without admitting to any drug quantity; and (2) he should only be sentenced on quantity of drugs he personally distributed to others. Fact that Dist. Ct. used short-hand description of instant charged offense by referring only to "section 846" when accepting plea did not require different result.
