052214P.pdf   03/10/2006  United States  v.  Lynn Marie Lazenby, et al.
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  05-2214
   Northern District of Iowa   
   [PUBLISHED] [Loken, Author, with McMillian and Melloy, Circuit Judges]
Criminal case - Sentencing. District court granted Lazenby an unreasonable downward variance, as her sentence is 83% below the 70- month bottom of her advisory guidelines range; while defendant has demonstrated post-offense rehabilitation, the sentence imposed lies outside the limited range of choice dictated by the facts of the case; further the sentence results in an unwarranted disparity among defendants guilty of similar conduct; defendant Goodwin's sentence, while at the bottom of the advisory guidelines range, was not reasonable under the facts of this case, and her sentenced is reversed and her case remanded for resentencing.
