United States v. Rojas Tapia

CYR, Senior Circuit Judge.

Jesus Rojas-Tapia appeals the conviction and sentence resulting from his participation in a conspiracy to commit airline piracy and his use of a semiautomatic firearm, contending that (i) the district court erred in denying his motion to suppress the inculpatory post-arrest statements he made to the police, and (ii) we must vacate the ensuing Guidelines sentence and remand for resentencing under the new “advisory” Guidelines regime prescribed in United States v. Booker, 543 U.S. 220, 125 S.Ct. 738, 160 L.Ed.2d 621 (2005). We affirm.
