1Opinion of the Court
RICHARD S. ARNOLD, Chief Judge.
The United States appeals from a sentence of 72 months levied upon Robert Lat-timore by the District Court after his plea of guilty to one count of possession with intent to distribute cocaine, in violation of 21 U.S.C. § 841(a)(1). Lattimore’s range under the United States Sentencing Guidelines was 78 to 97 months, but the District Court departed downward, citing the Sentencing Commission’s failure to take properly into consideration the mandatory minimum sentences contained in 21 U.S.C. § 841(b), 787 F.Supp. 170 (D.Minn.1991). We reverse.
