United States Seventh Circuit


US v. Ortiz, 03-1471

Sentence for drug related offenses is vacated due to clear error where the additional cocaine quantity that the district court attributed to defendant for sentence enhancement was not relevant conduct because it was not part of the same common scheme or plan as the crime to which he pled guilty.
