United States v. Pedro Araujo-Quinonez
Opinion
MEMORANDUM **
Pedro Araujo-Quinonez appeals from the 50-month sentence imposed following his guilty-plea conviction for importation of cocaine, in violation of 21 U.S.C. §§ 952(a), 960(a)(1) and (b)(1)(B)(ii), and possession with intent to distribute cocaine, in violation of 21 U.S.C. § 841(a)(1) and (b)(1)(A)(ii)(II). We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we affirm.
Araujo-Quinonez contends that the district court procedurally erred by failing to grant a minor-role adjustment. The district court did not err by denying the adjustment. See United States v. Cantrell, 433 F.3d 1269, 1282-83 (9th Cir. 2006).
Araujo-Quinonez also contends that the district court erred by not granting him a departure for aberrant behavior. Araujo-Quinonez’s argument lacks merit. See United States v. Dallman, 533 F.3d 755, 760-62 (9th Cir. 2008).
AFFIRMED.
This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by 9 th Cir. R. 36-3.
