United States v. Zunzunegui

IN THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FIFTH CIRCUIT No. 01-50721 Summary Calendar UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff-Appellee, versus MARIO IGNACIO ZUNZUNEGUI, Defendant-Appellant. -------------------- Appeal from the United States District Court for the Western District of Texas USDC No. EP-01-CR-158-2-DB -------------------- February 25, 2002 Before JONES, SMITH, and EMILIO M. GARZA, Circuit Judges. PER CURIAM:* Mario Ignacio Zunzunegui appeals the district court’s finding that he is a “career offender” under U.S.S.G. § 4B1.1. Zunzunegui argues that his two prior felony convictions are “related” and should be counted as one for sentencing purposes because they were the result of a “single common scheme or plan.” U.S.S.G. § 4A1.2, comment. (n.3). The record reveals that Zunzunegui’s prior convictions occurred in different districts and involved separate drug distributions on different days involving different cooperating individuals. See United States * Pursuant to 5TH CIR. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR. R. 47.5.4. No. 01-50721 -2- v. Deville, Nos. 00-30900, 00-30968 and 00-31124, 2002 WL 15513, *6-7 (5th Cir. Jan. 7, 2002). There is no credible evidence in the record indicating that the prior offenses were jointly planned; nor is it evident from the record that the commission of one offense would entail the commission of the other as well. See United States v. Robinson, 187 F.3d 516, 520. Accordingly, Zunzunegui’s sentence is affirmed. AFFIRMED.
