United States v. Quigley, Dorothy

Opinion for the Court filed by Circuit Judge SENTELLE.

SENTELLE, Circuit Judge:

Dorothy Quigley appeals from a judgment sentencing her to twenty-seven months’ imprisonment. Her sole argument on appeal is that the district judge improperly enhanced her offense level by four levels pursuant to the “organizer or leader” role enhancement under § 3Bl.l(a) of the United States Sentencing Guidelines. For the reasons more fully set forth below, we agree with appellant that the district court erred in imposing this enhancement, and therefore vacate the judgment and remand for resentencing.
