Julio Gonzalez v. United States
I. Whether the Fifth Circuit violated federal law when it conducted a cursory review of the facts related to the district courts erroneous decision to assess the Base Offense Level at 28 pursuant to U.S.S.G 2D1.1(c) (6), instead of a level 26 under U.S.S.G 2D1.1(c) (7),when the record clearly shows that a Base Offense Level of 26 is more consistent with Gonzalez' intent to purchase three kilograms of cocaine and truly reflects his culpability under the sentencing guidelines; and because the proper application of the sentencing guidelines is of exceptional importance to the administration of justice in federal criminal cases, this Court should decide this question and, upon review, should reverse the judgment of the Fifth Circuit.
