United States v. Rios

ORDER

Hector Rios pleaded guilty to distributing crack cocaine. See 21 U.S.C. 846, 841(a)(l).The district court sentenced Rios to 151 months’ imprisonment based in part on the 100:1 guidelines ratio that leads to substantially harsher sentences for distributing crack relative to powder cocaine. See U.S.S.G. § 2Dl.l(c). Rios appealed and we appointed counsel, but then granted counsel’s motion to withdraw under An*509ders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S.Ct. 1396, 18 L.Ed.2d 493 (1967), when counsel was unable to discern a nonfrivolous basis for the appeal. See United States v. Rios, 224 Fed.Appx.…
