United States v. Fuller
United States v. Fuller
Opinion
Affirmed by unpublished PER CURIAM opinion.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
Jonathan Fuller pled guilty to possession with intent to distribute crack cocaine, in violation of 21 U.S.C. § 841(a)(1) (2006). He received a 160-month prison sentence. On appeal, Fuller raises one issue, claiming the district court committed “significant procedural error” by miscalculating his criminal history, resulting in an incorrect Criminal History Category and the wrong range under the federal Sentencing Guidelines. We disagree with Fuller’s claim, and we affirm his conviction and sentence.
This court reviews a sentence for reasonableness under an abuse of discretion standard. Gall v. United States, 552 U.S. 38, 50-51, 128 S.Ct. 586, 597, 169 L.Ed.2d 445 (2007). In determining whether a sentence is procedurally reasonable, we must first assess whether the district court properly calculated the defendant’s advisory Guidelines range. 128 S.Ct. at 596-97. When reviewing the district court’s application of the Sentencing Guidelines, we review findings of fact for clear error and questions of law de novo. United States v. Osborne, 514 F.3d 377, 387 (4th Cir.), cert. denied, — U.S. —, 128 S.Ct. 2525, 171 L.Ed.2d 805 (2008).
In his appeal, Fuller claims the district court erred by using a June 25, 2003 misdemeanor marijuana conviction in calculating the criminal history points. After reviewing the record, we find there is no merit to Fuller’s claim. Fuller not find it relevant whether he served time in jail. Therefore, we affirm. We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional process.
AFFIRMED.
