Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
Arlo Whiteoak Romano appeals the district court’s
decision to assess a two-level sentencing enhancement pursuant
to U.S. Sentencing Guidelines Manual § 3B1.1(c) (2009), based
on Romano’s status as an organizer, leader, manager, or
supervisor of a drug conspiracy. We have reviewed the record
and conclude that the evidence of Romano’s role in the
conspiracy, including supplying drugs to street level dealers,
recruiting at least one person into the conspiracy, and managing
a substantial amount of drugs and money, supported application
of the enhancement. USSG § 3B1.1(c) & comment. (nn. 2, 4).
Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s judgment. We
dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal
contentions are adequately presented in the materials before the
court and argument would not aid the decisional process.
AFFIRMED
