Description
SELYA, Circuit Judge In this criminal appeal, the government contends that there were no valid grounds for departing below the guideline sentencing range (GSR). We agree. Hence, we vacate the sentence and remand for resentencing. Background Defendant-appellee Russell H. Wogan and a codefendant, Daniel J. Casale, were charged with possession of heroin with intent to distribute, distribution of heroin, and conspiracy to distribute heroin, in violation of 21 U.S.C. §§ 841(a)(1), 841(b)(1)(C), 846 and 18 U.S.C. § 2. The record shows that Wogan and Casale were joint venturers in the classic sense: the level and extent of their participation was, to all intents and purposes, approximately the same. On September 5, 1990, Casale pled guilty to all three counts of the indictment. On September 26, Wogan followed suit.
