United States v. Minh Ha Lam

MEMORANDUM **

Minh Ha Lam appeals his 130-month sentence imposed following a guilty plea to one count of conspiracy to obstruct commerce by robbery, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1951 (a), and carrying a firearm during a crime of violence, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 924 (c)(1). We have jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1291 and 18 U.S.C. § 3742 , and we affirm.

Lam contends that the district court erred by denying the additional one-level adjustment for acceptance of responsibility under U.S.S.G. § 3E1.1(b)(1), because he admitted all elements of a conspiracy to commit robbery. Cf. United States v. Corona-Garcia, 210 F.3d 973, 980 (9th Cir.), cert. denied, 531 U.S. 898 , 121 S.Ct. 231 , 148 L.Ed.2d 165 (2000) (concluding that additional one-point reduction under § 3E1.1(b)(1) warranted where defendant admits elements of illegal re-entry offense under 18 U.S.C. § 1326 ). Because the district court granted the two-level adjustment under § 3E1.1(a), the additional one- *676 level adjustment was mandatory if Lam timely provided complete information to the government concerning his involvement in the offenses. See U.S.S.G. § 3E1.1(b)(1); United States v. CoronaGarcia, 210 F.3d at…
