182974P.pdf   11/01/2019  United States  v.  Kimani Sterling
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  18-2974
   U.S. District Court for the Western District of Missouri - Kansas City   
[PUBLISHED] [Loken, Author, with Kelly and Erickson, Circuit Judges] Criminal Case - sentence. In challenge to drug quantity determination and enhancement for possession of a dangerous weapon, the presentence investigation report attributed a drug quantity required for a base account of 24. The probation office concluded it was reasonable that defendants were held accountable for distribution of level 26 quantities. Sterling objected. The government did no present evidence to support discrepancy. Because the government failed to provide the information, the district court clearly erred in sentencing Sterling to a base offense level of 26 based on speculative drug quantities. The district court did not err in imposing the Guidelines sec 2D1.1(b)(1) enhancement. Case is reversed in part and remanded for resentencing.
