20 kilograms of cocaine, and Sanchez estimated that the next

shipment would include 20 kilograms of cocaine.

      Sanchez suggested that Cortes and Brown could follow him from his office

to the stash house to steal the cocaine. He explained that he wanted the robbery to

occur while he was inside the house so that he would not be forced to pay for the

drugs. He stated that there were usually two or three people in the house, one of

whom was armed. Brown suggested that the best idea would be for him and Cortes

to rob Sanchez as he was getting out of his car. At the conclusion of the meeting,

the CI told Cortes and Brown to let him know if they did not want to be involved

in theSanchez as soon as his car pulled up in front of the stash house. Brown

observed that he could shoot at Sanchez’s truck in order to cause a commotion.

      On May 7, 2009, the CI called Gonzalez and asked him whether he

personally would be participating in the robbery. Gonzalez stated that he would be

“supervising outside” while Cortes and Brown carried out the robbery. On May 8,

the CI called Cortes and Gonzalez and informed them that the cocaine would arrive

in Miami the following Thursday. The CI also arranged another meeting between

the defendants and Sanchez.

      On May 13, 2009, Sanchez and the CI met with Cortes and Brown. Sanchez

explained that his employer would be sending a shipment of 20 kilograms of

cocaine
