OPINION
_________________________
Defendant Maurice Taylor pleaded guilty to two drug-trafficking crimes, and the district
court sentenced him to 385 months’ imprisonment. In this appeal, Taylor contends that the
district court erroneously found applicable three sentencing enhancements: maintaining a drug
premises; being a leader/organizer; and using force, friendship, or affection to involve another in
a conspiracy. We affirm. |
