United States v. Sung Kwon

U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit
United States v. Sung Kwon, 558 F. App'x 735 (9th Cir. 2014)

United States v. Sung Kwon

Opinion

MEMORANDUM **

Sung O. Kwon appeals from the 37-month sentence imposed following his guilty-plea conviction for importation of methamphetamine hydrochloride, in violation of 21 U.S.C. §§ 952 and 960. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we affirm.

Kwon contends that the district court erred by granting a two-level role adjustment rather than a three- or four-level adjustment under U.S.S.G. § 3B1.2. We review for clear error. See United States v. Tankersley, 537 F.3d 1100, 1110 (9th Cir. 2008). The district court did not clearly err because the record reflects that Kwon was entrusted with a substantial amount of methamphetamine, and he traveled from the Philippines to Guam on three occasions as a part of the criminal enterprise. See United States v. Rodriguez-Castro, 641 F.3d 1189, 1193 (9th Cir. 2011).

AFFIRMED.
