Court of Appeals for the First Circuit

1Opinion of the Court
SELYA, Circuit Judge.
This appeal, in which the appellant complains that the government practiced “sentencing entrapment,” calls upon us to venture onto terra incognita. Believing, as we do, that the district court did not err in accepting the fruits of the government’s activities, we turn a deaf ear to the appellant’s complaint. We also overrule his objection to a “special skill” adjustment made by the lower court in constructing the guideline sentencing range (GSR). Withal, an intervening change in the law leads us to remand the matter for reconsideration of the sentence originally imposed.
