MEMORANDUM *
LAMON GLENN WASHINGTON, AKA
Monte,
Defendant - Appellant.
Appeal from the United States District Court
for the District of Alaska
Ralph R. Beistline, Chief District Judge, Presiding
Submitted February 21, 2012 **
Before: FERNANDEZ, McKEOWN, and BYBEE, Circuit Judges.
Lamon Washington appeals the 87 month sentence imposed following his
guilty plea to drug conspiracy in violation of 21 U.S.C. §§ 846 and 841(a)(1) and
841(b)(1)(B).
*
This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent
except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3.
**
The panel unanimously concludes this case is suitable for decision
without oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2).
Washington contends that the district court erred by applying a three-level
adjustment for his role as a manager or supervisor under U.S.S.G. § 3E1.1(a). The
district court did not clearly err in light of Washington’s admission at the plea
hearing that he was involved in a drug conspiracy that involved five people, and
that he directed and managed other participants in transporting the drugs. See
United States v. Egge, 223 F.3d 1128, 1132 (9th Cir. 2000) (three-level adjustment
proper where defendant used others to help him sell drugs).
AFFIRMED.
