252-month Sentence Affirmed in Meth Case

U.S. v. Glover, -- F.3d --, 2005 WL 1541083 (10th Cir. 7/1/05) - appeal of 252-month sentence in OK meth conspiracy case. Defendant gets no help from Booker because he admitted in his plea agreement to facts underlying enhancements. Application of mandatory, rather than advisory, guidelines was harmless non-constitutional error because court exercised discretion to impose sentence near the top of the applicable guidelines range and remarked that the sentence was justified by Mr. Glover's criminal history and the threat he poses to the community.
