Description
Robert Robertson (Robertson) pled guilty to distribution of crack cocaine within 1,000 feet of a school, in violation of 21 U.S.C.A. § 841(a)(1) (West 1981) and 21 U.S.C.A. § 860 (West Supp. 1994). He appeals his sentence on the following grounds: (1) the district court erred by taking into account his statements to a therapist concerning racial and social issues in violation of his First Amendment right to freedom of speech; (2) the district court's denial of a reduction for acceptance of responsibility violated his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination; (3) the district court erred in not awarding him a two-level reduction in offense level for acceptance of responsibility pursuant to U.S.S.G. § 3E1.1(a); and (4) the district court erred in not awarding him an additional one-level reduction pursuant to U.S.S.G. § 3E1.1(b). We affirm.
