MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from U.S. v. Dabdoub-Canez, 961 F.2d 836 (9th Cir. 1992):
21 U.S.C. 846 (emphasis added). This provision allowed a sentencing court to impose a punishment less than the mandatory minimum required for the corresponding substantive offense. See, e.g., United States v. Maree, 934 F.2d 196, 200-01 (9th Cir.1991) (Prior to 1988, "there was no minimum sentence applicable" to a conspiracy conviction under section 846).
