Description
In October 1997, the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) received a tip that Roger Galbraith was manufacturing methamphetamine at his home in Cisne, Illinois. Acting on that tip, agents went to Galbraiths home where they found significant evidence of drug production. The agents waited at the home, interviewed Galbraith when he arrived, and later arrested him. Galbraith moved to suppress evidence gathered and statements given at the officers original search; his motion was denied. Galbraith pleaded "not guilty," but changed his plea after jury selection began. The trial judge sentenced him on the basis of statements given by his co-defendants and others. The judge enhanced Galbraiths offense level for obstruction of justice, and denied Galbraiths requests for sentence reductions based on acceptance of responsibility and application of the United States Sentencing Guidelines so-called safety valve provision. Galbraith now appeals the denial of the motion to suppress, the judges calculation of his relevant conduct, the obstruction of justice enhancement and the denials of his two requests for sentence reduction. We do not reach the merits of the suppression issue, and we affirm on all other issues.
