United States v. Brown
Opinion of the Court
SUMMARY ORDER
In this sentencing-only appeal, defendant Michael Brown challenges the District Court’s imposition of a two-level enhancement for obstruction of justice under United States Sentencing Guidelines (“U.S.S.G.”) § 3C1.1.
Having reviewed the record and considered the arguments of the parties, we conclude that the District Court did not err in imposing the obstruction-of-justice enhancement under U.S.S.G. § 3C1.1, see, e.g., United States v. Carty, 264 F.3d 191, 194-96 (2d Cir. 2001), and the judgment of the District Court is hereby AFFIRMED.
U.S.S.G. § 3C1.1 provides for a two-step increase in a defendant’s offense level if the defendant "willfully obstructed or impeded, or attempted to obstruct or impede, the administration of justice during the investigation, prosecution, or sentencing of the instant offense.”
