United States v. Rakel
U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit · Decided December 12, 2006 · King, Wiener, Owen
209 F. App'x 410

United States v. Rakel

Opinion

PER CURIAM: *

Jason Rakel appeals his conviction for conspiracy to distribute methamphetamine. For the first time on appeal, he argues that his guilty plea was not supported by a sufficient factual basis. We hold that Rakel’s admitted purchase of 70.7 grams of methamphetamine in a two-week period is indicative of distribution, not personal use. Consequently, the district court did not plainly err in accepting *411 his plea. See United States v. Palmer, 456 F.3d 484, 489, 492 (5th Cir. 2006).

AFFIRMED.

*

Pursuant to 5th Cir. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5th Cir. R. 47.5.4.
