042057P.pdf   06/24/2005  USA  v.  Jason Pepper
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  04-2057
   Northern District of Iowa   
   [PUBLISHED] [M. Arnold, Author, with Beam and Riley, Circuit Judges] 
   Criminal case - Sentencing Guidelines. Sentencing Guidelines do not 
   permit a district court to consider a matter unrelated to a defendant's 
   assistance to law enforcement officials when determining how far to 
   depart below a guideline range pursuant to a Sec. 5K1.1 departure motion 
   based on the defendant's assistance; here, the court considered an 
   unrelated matter - the minimum amount of time required to complete the 
   Bureau of Prison's 500-hour intensive drug treatment program - and the 
   case must be remanded for resentencing.
