   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  05-3526
   Eastern District of Missouri   
   [PUBLISHED] [Smith, Author, with Arnold and John R. Gibson, Circuit Judges]
   Criminal case - Sentencing. District court adequately articulated 
   its reasoning for imposing a 54% variance, however, given the factual
   record, the court clearly erred by basing its variance primarily upon
   defendant's age and history of drug abuse as the record shows his
   characteristics in these areas are not exceptional and do not justify 
   the variance.
