U.S. v. Jaca Nazario, 1st Cir. Mar. 27, 2008
05-2114, 06-2157 U.S. v. Jaca Nazario
Before Howard, Circuit Judge, Selya, Senior Circuit Judge, and Dyk,1 Circuit Judge.
HOWARD, Circuit Judge. Carlos Jaca Nazario (”Jaca”) pled guilty to conspiring to transport cocaine in two separate criminal cases. He was sentenced by a different judge for each plea. He makes a variety of claims on appeal, some directed at one sentence, some at the other, and some at both. Because we find that the district court erred in its determination of whether the conduct underlying each case was, in the parlance of the federal sentencing guidelines, “relevant conduct” as to the sentencing of the other, we vacate both sentences and remand for resentencing. … U.S. v. Jaca Nazario.
