Text: Manipulation—Anthony In addition to the Kimbrough argument that we have addressed above, Anthony adopts Davis’ arguments that the district court failed to adequately consider evidence of sentencing entrapment and manipulation. As with Davis’ analogous claims, we find that Anthony’s Nos. 06-4101, 06-4376 & 07-1813 25 sentencing entrapment and manipulation claims are without merit. Along with Davis, Anthony negotiated the guns purchase with the ATF agent and readily agreed to the agent’s suggestion that the defendants pay for the guns with crack instead of cash. The government did not have to resort to “extraordinary inducements” that would support a sentencing entrapment claim, White, 519 F.3d at 347, and its conduct was not so outrageous to support a sentencing manipulation claim, Wagner, 467 F.3d at 1090.
