• Garrett v. United States, 471 U.S. 773 (U.S. 1985)
  …n. 1. Several Courts of Appeals have held that a “continuing series” consists of three or more violations. See, e. g., United States v. Sterling, 742 F. 2d 521, 526 (CA9 1984); United States v. Sinito, 723 F. 2d 1250, 1261 (CA6 1983), cert. denied, 469 U. S. 817 (1984); United States v. Chagra, 653 F. 2d 26, 27-28 (CA1 1981), cert. denied, 455 U. S. 907 (1982). In fact, the United States plainly concedes as much: “Petitioner does not dispute that the CCE prosecution could be maintained if predicated on a…

• United States v. Rigoberto Moya-Gomez, 860 F.2d 706 (7th Cir. 1988)
  …t. at 2413. It is commonly referred to as the “kingpin” statute because its purpose is to punish, through severe penalties, “organizers and leaders of narcotics operations.” United States v.

While the statute was not designed to reach mere “lieutenants and foot soldiers,” Garrett, 471 U.S. at 781, 105 S.Ct. at 2413, the case law clearly establis…
