9th Circuit Maps Path for Sentencing Issue Cases

As the repercussions from Booker/Fanfan are becoming more common now, the 9th. Circuit Court of Appeals according to a Law.com article this morning, ruled Wednesday that "the Supreme Court's ruling on federal sentencing guidelines applies to most, if not all, cases currently on appeal."

The opinion, U.S. v. Ameline, is said to be important because it's the first sentencing decision since the Booker the 9th Circuit has rendered.
