MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from U.S. v. Casias, 972 F.2d 1344 (9th Cir. 1992):
Likewise, the judge properly denied a minor role reduction. "A district court's denial of minor participant status is a factually dependant determination which will be upheld unless clearly erroneous." United States v. Ocampo, 937 F.2d 485, 491 (9th Cir.1991) (citing United States v. Rexford, 903 F.2d 1280, 1282 (9th Cir.1990)). In fact, "[a] simple statement by the district court that the defendant was not a minor participant is typically sufficient to settle the question." Id.
