Officials: KANNE and SYKES, Circuit Judges, and GILBERT, District Judge
Pleas & Sentencing – Error
No. 13-1731 United States of America v. Darryl Rollins
District court judge imposition of 4 year term of supervised release where sentencing guidelines called for 3 years called for remand.
“The judge imposed a four-year term of supervised release. The parties agree that although the judge had been alerted to the reduction in the statutory minimum term of supervised release occasioned by the Fair Sentencing Act, he was probably unaware that the range recommended by the Guidelines also had been reduced. We agree that a remand is appropriate limited only to this issue.”
Vacated and remanded
