042563P.pdf   09/13/2005  USA  v.  Jack Wayne Rogers
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  04-2563
   Western District of Missouri   
[PUBLISHED] [Loken, Author, with Fagg and Bye, Circuit Judges] Criminal case - Sentencing Guidelines. Guilty plea waived defendant's Sixth Amendment rights under Booker; applying Pirani's plain error analysis, defendant was not entitled to Booker relief as nothing in the record demonstrated a reasonable probability that the district court would have imposed a lesser sentence under an advisory guidelines scheme; district court's statements in open court and its written judgment adequately set out the ground for imposition of a sentence outside the guidelines sentencing range; district court did not misapply the guidelines in imposing an extreme upward departure based on defendant's heinous conduct and the physical injury he inflicted on the adult victims of his gender nullification procedures; the conduct of performing dangerous genital removals in a motel room was sufficiently related to defendant's child pornography conviction to serve as the basis for the upward departure; extent of departure was not unreasonable given defendant's brutal, cruel and degrading conduct and his publication of the gruesome acts on the Internet; case remanded for a modification of the judgment consistent with Guidelines Part 5G (2002).
