Whether the district court's decision when imposing sentence improperly treated the sentencing guidelines

Question Presented (OCR Extract)

QUESTION PRESENTED Whether the district court’s decision when imposing sentence that a defendant failed to sufficiently justify a “reduction” from the Sentencing Guidelines range (1) placed excessive weight on the advisory sentencing guidelines and impermissibly treated the guidelines as presumptively reasonable, and/or (2) impermissibly treated as the presumptive sentence from which to consider a variance or departure the original sentence by a different judge that the Court of Appeals had previously vacated, and thus committed reversible procedural error when it imposed at resentencing an identical sentence of 360 months imprisonment. 1
