1Opinion of the Court
TJOFLAT, Circuit Judge:
The United States appeals the sentence of Yahaira Onofre-Segarra on the ground that the district court abused its discretion when it granted Onofre-Segarra’s motion for a downward departure under section 5K2.0 of the Sentencing Guidelines. 1 Because we find that the district court made insufficient factual findings to support its decision to depart, we vacate the sentence and remand the ease to the district court for a full hearing on the propriety of a downward departure under section 5K2.0.
As this court explained in United States v. Scroggins, 880 F.2d 1204, 1209…
