1Opinion of the Court

KELLY, Circuit Judge.

A jury found Alvin Felicianosoto guilty of conspiracy to distribute methamphetamine, in violation of 21 U.S.C. §§ 841 (a)(1) and 846, and possession with intent to distribute methamphetamine, in violation of 21 U.S.C. § 841 (a)(1). The district court 1 sentenced him to concurrent 210-month terms of incarceration. On appeal, Felicianosoto argues that his attorney violated his Sixth Amendment rights by conceding guilt as to the possession with intent to distribute count at trial and that the district court committed several sentencing errors. We affirm.
