U.S. v. CAMPBELL

No. 97-4076.

139 F.3d 820 (1998)

UNITED STATES of America, Plaintiff-Appellee, v. Khadijah S. CAMPBELL, Defendant-Appellant.

United States Court of Appeals, Eleventh Circuit.

April 21, 1998.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Randy Rosenblum, Kathleen M. Williams, Bernardo Lopez, Assts. Fed. Pub. Defenders, Miami, FL, for Defendant-Appellant.

Dawn Bowen, Joan M. Silverstein, Assts. U.S. Attys., Miami, FL, for Plaintiff-Appellee.

Before HATCHETT, Chief Judge, and RONEY and LAY, Senior Circuit Judges.

HATCHETT, Chief Judge:

The district court sentenced appellant Khadijah Campbell to thirty-seven months of imprisonment after she pleaded guilty to importation of cocaine. Campbell now challenges the district court's holding that she was not entitled to a mitigating role adjustment. Because we find that the district court's reliance upon Campbell's status as a drug courier may have improperly motivated its decision, we vacate and remand for resentencing.
