Jane C. Hogan, St. Louis, MO, argued, for appellee.

Before MAGILL, Circuit Judge, LAY and BRIGHT, Senior Circuit Judges.

BRIGHT, Senior Circuit Judge.

The United States challenges the district court's downward departure from the Sentencing Guidelines' sentencing range attributed to defendant James Simpson. Simpson's convictions include four counts of distribution of cocaine in violation of 21 U.S.C. § 841(a)(1), and three counts of food stamp fraud in violation of 7 U.S.C. § 2024(b). On review, we reverse, vacate and remand for resentencing with directions.
