How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• noting that reasoning justifying charge-bargaining programs applies equally to motions for downward departure
• stating that the court has “no reason to believe that Congress intended that sentencing disparities between defendants who benefitted from prosecutorial discretion and those who did not could be ‘unwarranted’ within the meaning of [18 U.S.C.] § 3553(a)(6)”
• “If defendants in fast-track districts expected to receive similar sentences regardless of whether they partici- pated in a program, defendants would have little incentive to participate.”
• “If a district court provides an inadequate statement of reasons or relies on improper factors in imposing a sentence outside the properly calculated advisory guideline range, the sentence will be found unreasonable and vacated.”
