Description
ENGEL, Senior Circuit Judge. Johnny Franklin Patrick appeals his sentence, imposed pursuant to the United States Sentencing Guidelines upon a conviction for marijuana trafficking in violation of 21 U.S.C. §§ 841(a)(1) & 846 and firearm possession in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 924(c). The major issues in his appeal are (1) whether the trial court erred in failing to give Patrick notice in advance of the sentencing hearing of the possibility that it would disregard the probation department's recommendation that two points be subtracted from the base offense level to reflect his acceptance of responsibility, and (2) whether the evidence supported a two-point increase to reflect Patrick's role in the offense. For the reasons stated below, we AFFIRM the sentence.
