1Opinion of the Court
SELYA, Circuit Judge.
After defendant-appellant Carlos Vazquez-Molina pleaded guilty to a charge of conspiracy to possess cocaine with intent to distribute, 21 U.S.C. §§ 841(a), 846, the district court sentenced him to serve a 136-month incarcerative term. Vazquez-Molina now challenges his sentence on two grounds: (i) that the district court’s explanation for fixing the sentence at a particular point in the guideline sentencing range (GSR) failed to satisfy the command of 18 U.S.C. § 3553(c)(1) and (ii) that the court indulged in impermissible double counting when deciding upon the sentence.
