Heading: Enhancement for Commission of Offense While on Probation

Text: Defendant next argues that the district court improperly added two points to his criminal history score for committing the offense while on probation. The Guidelines provide for a two-point enhancement in a defendant's criminal history score if the defendant committed the instant offense while under any criminal justice sentence, including probation, parole, supervised release, imprisonment, work release, or escape status. U.S.S.G. § 4A1.1(d). We find no error by the district court in determining that defendant committed the instant offense while on probation. The PSR indicated that defendant was on probation for DUI and possession of marijuana at the time he committed the offense for which he pleaded guilty. Defendant did not object to this factual finding at his sentencing hearing, so the district court properly accepted it as true. See Carter, 355 F.3d at 925. Further, defendant admitted in his plea agreement that within the time frame alleged in Count One of the Indictmentthat is, January 2002 through June 2006he conspired with others . . . to distribute more than five kilograms of cocaine hydrochloride. The PSR shows that defendant was convicted and sentenced to probation twice within this time frame: on January 29, 2002, and January 24, 2006. Accordingly, the district court did not err in applying the enhancement to defendant's criminal history score under § 4A1.1(d).
