Description
Defendant, Wesley Roper ("Roper"), has appealed from a conviction and sentence returned on a four-count indictment that charged him with distributing cocaine base on three occasions and conspiring to distribute cocaine base, in violation of 21 U.S.C. 841(a)(1) and 846. Roper has alleged the following errors in his conviction and sentence: (1) the district court improperly denied his motion for a mistrial charging prosecutorial misconduct arising from the governments failure to respond to his demands for information concerning its intention to rely upon character evidence pursuant to Federal Rule of Evidence 404; (2) the district court improperly enhanced his sentence for obstructing Justice without making the requisite findings to support its action; (3) the district court improperly refused to reduce his sentence because of his minor role in the charged offenses; and (4) the district court improperly declined to reduce his sentence for refusing to accept responsibility for the charged offenses.
