Appeal from the United States District Court for the Middle District of Alabama ________________________

(January 5, 2018)

Before TJOFLAT, WILLIAM PRYOR and NEWSOM, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM: Case: 17-11727 Date Filed: 01/05/2018 Page: 2 of 2

Jaquan Young appeals the sentence the district court imposed following his

plea of guilty to conspiracy to distribute a controlled substance. 21 U.S.C.

§§ 841(a)(1), 846. Young argues that the district court clearly erred by imposing a

two-level enhancement under section 2D1.1(b)(1) of the Sentencing Guidelines

and by declining to apply a mitigating-role reduction under section 3B1.2. But we

cannot afford Young any meaningful relief. Young was sentenced to the statutory-

minimum sentence of 120 months of imprisonment. So any error in calculating his

advisory guideline range was harmless. See United States v. Chirino-Alvarez, 615

F.3d 1344, 1346 (11th Cir. 2010). We affirm.

AFFIRMED.
