United States v. Corbett

MEMORANDUM **

Michael Lee Corbett appeals the sentence imposed following his guilty plea to one count of possession with intent to distribute methamphetamine (21 U.S.C. § 841(a)(1)), one count of possession with intent to distribute marijuana (21 U.S.C. § 841(a)(1)), one count of possession of a firearm during and in relation to a drug trafficking crime (18 U.S.C. § 924(c)(1)), two counts of distribution of methamphetamine to a minor (21 U.S.C. § 859), and two counts of distribution of marijuana to a minor (21 U.S.C. § 859).

*797Corbett contends that the district court erred by failing to award him an additional one-level reduction under U.S.S.G. § 3El.l(b) after it awarded him a two-level adjustment for acceptance of responsibility. The government agrees with the defendant that the third level reduction is mandatory because Corbett notified the United States in a timely manner that he intended to plead guilty to the charges in the indictment. U.S.S.G. § 3El.l(b)(2); United States v. Blanco-Gallegos, 188 F.3d 1072, 1077 (9th Cir.1999).

The sentence is vacated and the ease is remanded for the district court to award Corbett the additional one-level reduction for timely acceptance of responsibility under § 3El.l(b)(2).

VACATED and REMANDED.
