   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.
