United States v. Ayala

BENAVIDES, Circuit Judge: At the sentencing hearing, Appellant Gilbert Ayala did not specifically challenge any fact within his presentence investigation report (PSR) or offer any evidence. Ayala merely argued that there was no factual support for a four-level adjustment in his offense level for being a leader or organizer, and that he should receive a reduction for acceptance of responsibility. Finding some support in the PSR (which had been adopted by the sentencing court) for the leadership adjustment, and concluding that Ayala has not shown that this is an ""extraordinary case"" where adjustments for both obstruction of Justice and acceptance of responsibility should coexist, we affirm.
