United States Fifth Circuit


US v. GARCIA-ORTIZ, 01-51287

A district court's discretionary refusal to impose a split sentence against an illegal alien under Guidelines section 5C1.1(d) does not fall within one of the four circumstances under which this court can impose jurisdiction to review a sentence; thus, case remanded to permit the district court to reconsider its sentence.
