United States of America, and v. Doloras Contreras, and Cross-Appellee

BRORBY, Circuit Judge.

Doloras Contreras was convicted in the United States District Court for the District of New Mexico on four counts in a multi-defendant, multi-count indictment. The trial court departed downward from the United States Sentencing Guidelines and sentenced Ms. Contreras to a 120-month term of imprisonment. Ms. Contreras appeals her conviction, and the United States appeals the trial court’s decision to depart downward. We exercise jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we affirm in' part and reverse in part.
