United States v. McDowell

How courts have described this case

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

• holding that the defendant’s plea for leniency was inadequate to preserve the issue of upward departure for appeal because it did not directly address the issue
• concluding that although the district court erred in relying on an inappropriate reason for departing upward, the sentencing error was harmless because the departure was valid for another stated reason and the court could have imposed the same sentence had it relied only on that proper reason
• upholding upward departure based on one permissible and one impermissible reason
