Description

This case involves an interpretation of the sentencing guidelines. The issue on appeal before the en banc court is the continuing vitality of our opinion in United States v. Rosen, 896 F.2d 789 (3d Cir. 1990), addressing § 5K2.13 of the United States Sentencing Commission, Guidelines Manual (Nov. 1997) which permits a downward departure based on diminished capacity where the crime is non-violent. The specific issue requires us to examine the meaning of "non-violent" offense under the sentencing guidelines.
