Text: 24 The district court did not make individualized findings as to Hansley; it simply stated that all of the conspirators could have reasonably foreseen that at least five kilograms of crack cocaine were involved. Nevertheless, we may uphold Hansley's sentence if the record supports the amount of drugs attributed to him. Ismond, 993 F.2d at 1499. 25 The record clearly demonstrates that Hansley was the leader of this conspiracy, and that all of the crack cocaine involved should be attributed to him. Indeed, Hansley does not dispute his leadership role, and appears to concede that he should be held accountable for all of the crack cocaine. He, however, maintains that the district court clearly erred in determining that the quantity of drugs involved in the conspiracy totaled more than five kilograms. 26 The record shows, at the very least, twenty attempted trips from Hazelhurst to south Florida for the purpose of purchasing drugs: fifteen for Sellers; one for Bennett and Glenn Hansley; three more for Bennett; and one for Hansley. Also, the record reveal[s] sufficient circumstantial [and] direct evidence to show that each of these trips was an attempt to purchase approximately 272 grams of crack cocaine. Butler, 41 F.3d at 1447. 4 Thus, based on these figures, the conspiracy involved an attempt to distribute over five kilograms of cocaine base. 5 Because this entire quantity is attributable to Hansley, the district court did not clearly err in setting his base offense level at forty.
