United States v. Simpson
United States v. Simpson
Opinion of the Court
SUMMARY ORDER
Defendants Carlos Simpson and Michael Smith Appeal from judgments of conviction entered by the District Court on December 8, 2005 and January 25, 2006, respectively. Defendants were convicted, after a jury trial, of participating in a conspiracy to distribute and possess with intent to distribute 100 kilograms or more of marijuana, in violation of 21 U.S.C. § 846; possession of marijuana with intent to distribute, in violation of 21 U.S.C. §§ 812, 841(a)(1), and 841(b)(1)(D); and possession of a firearm in furtherance of a drug trafficking crime, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 924(c). Defendant Smith was convicted of an additional count of possessing a firearm after having been convicted of a felony in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(1).
Upon considering each of defendants’ arguments, we find them to be without merit. Accordingly, the judgments of the District Court are hereby AFFIRMED.
