Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit March 5, 2001, No. 00-35662; D.C. No. CV-99-00260-REJ (United States v. Taylor)

MEMORANDUM2

Willie Lee Taylor appeals from the district court’s denial of his 28 U.S.C. § 2255 motion. Taylor pleaded guilty in 1998 to distributing cocaine base. In his section 2255 motion, Taylor contends that the district court erred in sentencing him when it failed to depart downward based on his diminished capacity.
