203736P.pdf 03/11/2022 United States v. Jonathan Berrier
U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 20-3736
U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas - Central
[PUBLISHED] [Loken, Author, with Arnold and Stras, Circuit Judges]
Criminal Case - Sentencing. Reviewing for plain error whether defendant
was prejudiced by the probation office's failure to comply with Fed.R.
Crim P. 32(g) by not supplying defendant and his attorney with a revised
PSR at least seven days before sentencing and the government's arguments
in support of an upward variance based on disputed facts, the district
court erred in relying on disputed facts and in granting an upward
variance. There is no reasonable basis to conclude whether the district
court would have imposed the same sentence after a proper evidentiary
inquiry. Case is remanded for resentencing.
