United States v. Martin, No. 12-1990 (1st Cir. 2014)
Annotate this CaseAfter a search of Appellant’s vehicle turned up heroin, cocaine, and oxycodone, Appellant was arrested, indicted, and pled guilty to possession with intent to distribute. Relying on two prior felony convictions that Appellant had, the district court treated Defendant as a career offender and sentenced her to 108 months’ imprisonment. Appellant appealed her sentence, challenging her classification as a career offender. Specifically, Appellant argued that her two prior convictions should have been treated as one for sentencing purposes. The First Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed the sentence, holding that the district court properly sentenced Appellant as a career offender pursuant to section 4B1.1(a) of the 2006 United States Sentencing Guidelines Manual.
