SYKES, Circuit Judge.
As part of a major interagency effort to combat gang violence and drug trafficking in Racine, Wisconsin, state and federal officers identified Juwan Matthews as an “impact player” in the Racine drug trade and used a confidential informant to target him in a series of controlled buys. Matthews was arrested after he sold crack cocaine to the informant on five separate occasions in 2010. He was indicted on five counts of distributing crack, pleaded guilty to two, and was sentenced to 78 months in prison, the midpoint of a properly calculated sentencing guidelines range.
