United States v. Corral

Constantino Santos Corral appeals the ten year sentence imposed upon him under 21 U.S.C. 841(b) after he pled guilty to possession with intent to distribute cocaine. He argues that the governments refusal to move for a downward departure for substantial assistance was unconstitutional and arbitrary, and that the district court erred in refusing to depart downward after the government refused to file a substantial assistance motion. This court has jurisdiction under 18 U.S.C. 3742.
