- ilnd;;1:06-cr-00684_de1129 RegisterActionDescriptionText "ORDER of USCA (certified copy) as to Saundra Falls regarding notice of appeal 982 : Saundra Falls participated in an extensive drug-dealing operation affiliated with theMickey Cobras street gang. The group operated out of the Dearborn Homes housingprojects in Chicago; it sold a particularly powerful type of heroin mixed with fentanyl. Falls was indicted for her role in the conspiracy on September 20, 2006. After efforts to cooperatewith the prosecutors fell flat, she entered a blind plea of guilty on September 12, 2008. Onappeal, she argues only that the district court erred by giving her an aggravating-roleadjustment under U.S.S.G. § 3B1.1, for being a manager or supervisor. The district courtsconclusion, however, was supported by the evidence, and so we affirm the sentence. Our last comment relates to the question whether the government had to show thatthe defendant managed people, or if it would be enough for purposes of § 3B1.1 to show thatshe managed only property. In its presentations to the district court, the governmentstressed the latter position, even after Falls pointed out that Application Note 2 to § 3B1.1and Fones, 51 F.3d at 668, rules out that approach for post-1993 cases. Falls was correct, butto the extent that the government erred, it had no effect on the ultimate outcome. In fact,the court relied on evidence that Falls was also managing at least one participant (0FDEDAD),and that is enough to satisfy Application Note 2 and to show that it was not relyingexclusively on her responsibilities with respect to the drugs and money.IIIFinding no clear error in the district courts decision to increase Fallss offense levelby three points for her role as a manager or supervisor, we AFFIRM the judgment of thedistrict court.
