Text: 5 Defendant-Appellant, Lawrence Orlando, Sr., was convicted by a jury for Conspiracy to Use Mail and Facilities in Interstate Commerce in Aid of Racketeering, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 371, and Conspiracy to Commit Money Laundering, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1956(h). After sentencing, defendant appealed his sentence and conviction to this Court. This Court remanded his case for resentencing to determine the amount of laundered funds for which defendant should be held accountable. United States v. Orlando, 281 F.3d 586 (6th Cir.2002). On remand, the district court resentenced defendant to sixty-three months imprisonment and two years supervised release, the same as defendant's original sentence. 6 Now defendant appeals the sentence imposed upon him on remand. First, defendant argues that the district court erred in applying on remand at defendant's resentencing the version of U.S.S.G. § 2S1.1 which was in effect at the time of defendant's original sentencing. Defendant contends that the district court on remand should have applied the version of § 2S1.1 in effect at the time of his resentencing. Second, defendant argues that even if the district court was correct in applying the version of § 2S1.1 in effect at the time of his original sentencing, the evidence and factual determinations of the district court do not support a three-point enhancement pursuant to § 2S1.1. 7 We find that the district court on remand was correct in applying the version of § 2S1.1 in effect at the time of defendant's original sentencing, as opposed to the version in effect at the time of defendant's resentencing. We also find that the district court's factual findings were not clearly erroneous. Accordingly, we AFFIRM defendant's sentence.
