United States v. Torris Boyd

SHEPHERD, Circuit Judge.

On July 31, 2006, Torris Izell Boyd pled guilty to distribution of cocaine base near a playground in violation of 21 U.S.C. §§ 841(a)(1), 841(b)(1)(B), and 860 as well as 18 U.S.C. § 2. At sentencing, the district court 1 calculated a total offense level of 38 along with a category IV criminal history. The guideline range equated to 324-405 months, but the district court imposed a below-guidelines sentence of 308 months’ imprisonment pursuant to United State Sentencing Guideline (“U.S.S.G.”) § 5K1.1. We affirmed Boyd’s conviction and sentence on November 28, 2007.…
