Memorandum Decision and Order

On February 20, 2020, I sentenced Defendant Brandon Carter to a term of imprisonment of 30 months, followed by 3 years of supervised release. [ECF No. 39]. At Defendant Carter’s sentencing hearing, he objected to the calculation of his base offense level under the United States Sentencing Guidelines (the “Guidelines”), arguing that the Guidelines do not include “attempt” offenses in the definition of a “controlled substance offense.” I ORDER the objection sustained based on the reasons given at the sentencing hearing and those that follow.
