   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  06-1893
                          and No:  06-2269
   U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri - St. Louis   
   [PUBLISHED] [Murphy, Author, with Loken, Chief Judge, and John
   R. Gibson, Circuit Judge]
   Criminal case - Sentencing. Sentencing court substituted its own views
   for those of the Congress and the Sentencing Commission when it based
   Anthony Gentile's sentence reductions on its general critique of the
   pseudoephedrine tables rather than pointing to any specific circumstances
   which might make their application unreasonable; none of the other
   factors the court relied on to justify its downward variance provided
   sufficient justification for the extent of the variance granted to Anthony;
   variance for Sheila Gentile was also unwarranted as the family hardships
   the court relied on were not outside the heartland of hardships incidental
   to incarceration of a parent and care giver; sentence of one day and
   probation when the lower end of the guidelines was 37 months was not
   reasonable.
