MEMORANDUM*
CHRISTOPHER ROLAND BRADLEY,
Defendant - Appellant.
Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Central District of California
Dean D. Pregerson, District Judge, Presiding
Argued and Submitted May 14, 2014
Pasadena, California
Before: NOONAN, WARDLAW and FISHER, Circuit Judges.
Christopher Bradley appeals his sentence for conspiracy to distribute and
possess with intent to distribute oxycodone and oxymorphone. We affirm.
The district court did not clearly err in attributing the entire amount of
oxycodone found at his coconspirators’ stash house to Bradley for purposes of
determining his offense level. See United States v. Palafox-Mazon, 198 F.3d 1182,

This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent
except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3.
1184, 1186 (9th Cir. 2000). Under the Sentencing Guidelines, Bradley “is
accountable for all quantities of contraband with which he was directly involved
and . . . all reasonably foreseeable quantities of contraband that were within the
scope of the criminal activity” that he “agreed to jointly undertake (i.e., the scope
of the specific conduct and objectives embraced by [his] agreement).” United
States Sentencing Guidelines Manual (U.S.S.G.) § 1B1.3 cmt. n.2; see United
States v. Ortiz, 362 F.3d 1274, 1275-77 (9th Cir. 2004). A court “may consider
any explicit agreement or implicit agreement fairly inferred from the conduct of the
defendant and others” to determine “the scope of the specific conduct and
objectives embraced by the defendant’s agreement.” U.S.S.G. § 1B1.3 cmt. n.2.
Here, the district court applied the correct legal standard and made an
“individualized evaluation” of the amount of contraband that should be attributed
to Bradley under the Guidelines. United States v. Garcia-Sanchez, 189 F.3d 1143,
1147 (9th Cir. 1999). Based on the “totality of the circumstances and the course of
dealings over about a year or so between the parties,” including the
“overwhelmingly suspicious” mailings, the court found that the quantity of
relevant drugs recovered from the stash house was both in furtherance of, and
reasonably foreseeable in connection with, the criminal activity jointly undertaken
by Bradley. U.S.S.G. § 1B1.3 cmt. n.2. The district court did not hold Bradley
2
accountable for several other quantities of contraband that were part of the
conspiracy, or a firearm that was found at his coconspirators’ residence. Taken as
a whole, these findings are not clearly erroneous.
AFFIRMED.
