United States First Circuit

Sentence for defendant's involvement with drug and firearms offenses, arising from a massive drug ring operating in public housing projects in Bayamon, Puerto Rico, is vacated and remanded for resentencing where the district court's rationale for the substantial disparity between defendant's sentence and the sentences of others above him in the conspiracy's hierarchy is unsupported by the record.
