United States v. Douglas Crawford

Opinion

MEMORANDUM **

Sufficient evidence supported the district court’s finding that defendant distributed fifty or more grams of cocaine base on two separate occasions. See Jackson v. Virginia, 443 U.S. 307, 318-19, 99 S.Ct. 2781, 61 L.Ed.2d 560 (1979). This isn’t a case where the district court approximated drug quantity from circumstantial evidence. See United States v. Culps, 300 F.3d 1069, 1076 (9th Cir. 2002). The weights were corroborated by expert testimony and defendant’s own admissions as to his conduct, and we give special deference to the district court’s credibility determinations. See United States v. Haswood, 350 F.3d 1024, 1028 (9th Cir. 2003).

AFFIRMED.
