Is there any case law where a defense counsel objected to the two point adjustment at the sentencing hearing?
MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Biro v. U.S., 24 F.3d 244 (9th Cir. 1994):
Defense counsel declined to address the managerial role objection when invited to do so by the district court. Defense counsel's failure to object to the two-point adjustment at the sentencing hearing waives any further challenge on appeal. United States v. Visman, 919 F.2d 1390, 1393-94 (9th Cir.1990), cert. denied, 112 S.Ct. 442 (1991).
