054483P.pdf   09/25/2006  United States  v.  Terrence T. Beal
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  05-4483
   Eastern District of Missouri   
   [PUBLISHED] [Melloy, Author, with Murphy and Colloton, Circuit Judges]
Criminal case - Sentencing. Eighty-four month sentence, which amounted a 104 month downward variance from the lowest end of the applicable Guidelines range, was not justified by compelling circumstances; while Guidelines Sec. 4A1.2(b)(1), which limits the extent of traditional departures for career criminals, does not strictly limit the scope of variances post-Booker, it remains relevant to consider the Guidelines and the commentary in any assessment of reasonableness, and these sources do not support the extent of the variance in this case.
