ORDER
ROSZKOWSKI, District Judge.
This action comes before the Court on defendant’s motion to declare as unconstitutional the new United States Sentencing Guidelines, 18 U.S.C. § 3551 et seq., promulgated by the United States Sentencing Commission pursuant to the Sentencing Reform Act of 1984, 28 U.S.C. § 991 et seq. For the reasons set forth below, the Court concludes that the Sentencing Guidelines are an unconstitutional delegation of legislative power and therefore invalid.
While this Court finds the Sentencing Guidelines constitutionally infirm, we do so today on “delegation of power”…
