U.S. v. Dominguez, 2d Cir. Mar. 20, 2008
05-7005 U.S. v. Dominguez
Before: MINER, SACK, and HALL, Circuit Judges. Appeal by the Government from a judgment of conviction and sentence for conspiracy to distribute cocaine and cocaine base entered in the United States District Court for the Northern District of New York (Hurd, J.) insofar as the sentence reflects a departure of approximately 93% from the statutory minimum sentence, the District Court having determined that the Government’s motion for a downward departure based upon defendant’s cooperation enabled it to exercise discretion, apparently informed by a variety of specified and unspecified factors, to impose a sentence it deemed “fair and reasonable under the circumstances.” Vacated and remanded. … U.S. v.
