Text: This Court has reserved judgment as to whether a district court’s application of § 3B1.1 should be reviewed de novo, or deferentially for clear error. See, e.g., United States v. Lalonde, 509 F.3d 750, 763–64 (6th Cir. 2007) (internal citations omitted); United States v. Moncivais, 492 F.3d 4 No. 09-3781 652, 660 (6th Cir. 2007) (“We have not settled the question of what standard governs review of a sentencing enhancement under U.S.S.G. § 3B1.1.”); United States v. Young, 553 F.3d 1035, 1052–53 (6th Cir. 2009) (summarizing the unsettled state of the law). However, this case does not provide an opportunity for resolution of this issue because we conclude that the district court properly applied the sentencing enhancement, regardless of which standard of review applies.
