Description
The issue presented in this appeal is whether a defendants role as the supplier of drugs to the head of an extensive retail distribution conspiracy is alone sufficient to render him a "leader or organizer" of the group under section 3B1.1(a) of the United States Sentencing Guidelines ("U.S.S.G."). We hold that the district court erred as a matter of law and fact in finding that it was sufficient. Accordingly, we vacate the defendants sentence and remand to the district court for resentencing.
