Description
The government appeals from defendant's sentence imposed pursuant to the United States Sentencing Commission's Sentencing Guidelines ("the guidelines"). We are asked to review the district court's downward departure from the guidelines for the stated purpose of imposing upon defendant a sentence "in line" with sentences imposed upon his co-conspirators. We conclude that, while such a departure may be permitted under the guidelines in some circumstances, it was not proper in this case. We shall, therefore, vacate the sentence imposed and remand for resentencing.
