Question Presented (AI Summary)

Whether the Fifth Circuit's review of the facts related to a mitigating adjustment under U.S.S.G. § 3B1.2 violated federal law

Question Presented (OCR Extract)

QUESTIONS PRESENTED I. Whether the Fifth Circuit’s cursory review of the facts related to a warranted mitigating adjustment under U.S.S.G. § 3B1.2 violated federal law in light of the fact that Karina Lizett Juarez acted merely as a mule or courier as defined by the sentencing guidelines. 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, and upon review, should reverse the judgment of the Fifth Cinguit. i
