What is the applicable sentence guideline range for a convicted drug trafficker who signed an agreement with the US Department of Justice to supply crystal methamphetamine?

MultiRegion, United States of America

The following excerpt is from United States v. Romero-Torres, Case No. 1:13-CR-000328-LJO (E.D. Cal. 2015):

Agreement) (Defendant agreeing that he delivered approximately 10 kilograms of actual methamphetamine and an additional 290 pounds of crystal methamphetamine on May 7, 2013). As a result, Defendant's base offense level remains at 38, his criminal history category is I, and his overall offense level is still 35. Therefore, the applicable sentence guideline range remains 135 to 168 months, the same as the previous range applicable to his case before Amendment 782 took effect. Because Defendant has no basis for seeking a reduction, his motion is denied. See 1B1.10 (a)(2)(B); see also United States v. Waters, 771 F.3d 679, 680 (9th Cir. 2014) (per curium).
