7^th Circuit Court of Appeals

Case Name: United States of America v. Daniel Montez

Case No.: 16-1188

Officials: POSNER, MANION, and HAMILTON, Circuit Judges.

Focus: Sentencing – Penalty Enhanceer

Daniel Montez appeals his conviction and sentence for possession with intent to distribute cocaine. He principally argues that the district court erred in ad‐ mitting a wiretapped conversation he had with an alleged supplier. He also asserts that the district court improperly applied the Sentencing Guidelines’ career offender enhancement. Finding his arguments unpersuasive, we affirm the judgment of the district court.
