U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 06-3316
U.S. District Court for the Western District of Missouri - St. Joseph
[PUBLISHED] [Arnold, Author, with Loken, Chief Judge, and
Colloton, Circuit Judge]
Criminal case - Sentencing. The district court erred in sentencing
defendant to probation when the applicable Guidelines range was 33 to
41 months, as such a variance was not supported by extraordinary
circumstances and failed to properly consider statutory goals such as the
need to promote respect, the need to deter others from similar offenses
and the need to avoid unwarranted sentencing disparities.
