United States v. Sherley A. Sanders

U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit
United States v. Sherley A. Sanders, 924 F.2d 800 (8th Cir. 1991)
1991 U.S. App. LEXIS 1572; 1991 WL 11042

United States v. Sherley A. Sanders

Opinion

PER CURIAM.

Sherley A. Sanders appeals from the sentence imposed upon her after revocation of her probation. She was sentenced to a term of three years imprisonment, and the sentence was entered following an earlier promise of the district court that on any revocation of-probation she would be “gone for three years.” The district court did not apply the Sentencing Guidelines.

This court has recently held in United States v. Von Washington, 915 F.2d 390, 392 (8th Cir. 1990) that when probation is revoked, the defendant must be sentenced in accord with the Guidelines, as required by 18 U.S.C. §§ 3553(b) and 3565(a) (1988). See also United States v. Smith, 907 F.2d 133 (11th Cir. 1990).

Accordingly, we remand to the district court for resentencing.
