Yet another time with Ameline
A little Ninth Circuit opinion dealing with Ameline “limited remand” sentencing procedures produced three opinions today in US v. Fifield, No. 06-30171 (9th Cir. May 7, 2007) (available here). The short opinions make for interesting reading, though I find it most notable that some Booker pipeline cases are still in the works a full 28 month after Booker was decided. (If the Supreme Court does anything consequential in Claiborne and Rita, I suspect there will be similar pipeline problems.)
