MultiRegion, United States of America

The following excerpt is from U.S. v. Shelton, 961 F.2d 217 (9th Cir. 1992):

21 U.S.C. 841(a)(1) prohibits any person from manufacturing a controlled substance with the intent to distribute. Mandatory minimum prison terms must be imposed according to the quantity of controlled substance involved in the offense. 21 U.S.C. 841(b)(1)(B). "[T]he mandatory minimum penalties established under section 841 apply with equal force to related offenses under section 846.... a conspiracy conviction under section 846 carries with it the same mandatory minimum sentence as a conviction for the corresponding substantive offense under section 841." United States v. Dabdoub-Canez, No. 91-10219, slip op. at 3831, 3835 (9th Cir. April 9, 1992) (per curiam).
