Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit March 4, 2002, 00-10629 (United States v. Joacko Williams)

OPINION

CANBY, Circuit Judge.

The government appeals a criminal sentence. The district court departed downward from defendant Joacko Williams’s applicable sentencing guidelines range because of its view that Williams would have received a lesser sentence had he been prosecuted in state court, as the district court believed he should have been.
