United States v. Claude Herschel Wright
Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit
Decided March 1, 1990No. 88-3948PublishedCited by 18 opinions
1Per curiam
Claude Herschel Wright appeals the sentence he received after he pled guilty to possession with intent to distribute methamphetamine and the intentional use of a firearm during and in relation to a drug crime. On the basis of the defendant’s age, physical condition, and his cooperation with the government, the district court departed downward from the sentencing range provided by the Sentencing Guidelines. Because the statute governing appeals from sentencing does not permit the defendant to obtain relief from a downward departure from the guideline range, we dismiss the appeal.
