In the absence of direct or credible evidence that specific parts of the haul were intended for personal consumption, a sentencing judge is entitled to reject a bare assertion of self-consumption and to apply guideline ranges for trafficking in the relevant quantity of Ice; applying those principles here, the starting point of eight years and the discount applied were within lawful sentencing discretion, so there was no arguable error of law or manifest excess warranting leave to appeal.
