## How later opinions describe it (automated extraction)

- explaining that “dealers often carry two cell phones — one to contact customers and one to contact suppliers — so that if police trace the call records of their customers it will not lead to their suppliers” (emphasis in original)
- applying career- offender enhancement of § 4B1.1

## Opinion text

TARNOW, District Judge.
I concur based on the fact that the issue of reasonableness has not been raised. The guideline range is the starting point in determining reasonableness, not the only factor to determine it. Thirty years for the relatively small amount of contraband may be unreasonable.
