United States v. Luis Alicea

The Eleventh Circuit affirmed defendant's conviction after he pleaded guilty to drug and firearm offenses. The court held that the district court did not clearly err in applying a base offense level of 20 based on defendant's prior conviction of a controlled substance offense; the district court did not err in calculating defendant's criminal history score; the district court did not clearly err by finding that defendant was convicted of selling heroin on school grounds, as well as two other New York convictions; and, even if the district court did err with respect to those New York convictions, any such error was harmless.
