Joel Duncan-Martinez (Duncan) pleaded guilty to conspiracy to possess with the intent to distribute 100 kilograms or more of marijuana. He was deemed a career offender and, after a downward departure, was sentenced to 98 months in prison and three years of supervised release.

Duncan is not entitled to relief on appeal. The district court did not plainly err in applying the career offender enhancement as the state court charging documents for Duncan’s 1998 and 2003 convictions reveal that Duncan violated the state statute within the relevant definition of a controlled substance offense for purposes of the career offender enhancement. See U.S.S.G. § 4B1.2(b); United States v. Roberts, 255 Fed.Appx. 849, 851 (5th Cir. 2007). Additionally, the district court’s denial of a mitigating role adjustment was not clearly erroneous because Duncan’s roles, such as being a contact person, recruiting his son to assist him, and stealing the marijuana that he intended to sell, were essential, not peripheral, to the overall scheme underlying the instant offense of conviction. United States v. Villanueva, 408 F.3d 193, 203 & n. 9 (5th Cir. 2005).

AFFIRMED.
