Description
William O. Steele appeals his conviction for dispensing controlled substances in violation of 21 U.S.C. § 841(a)(1), and the government cross-appeals the district court's application of the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines. Steele argues that his conviction must be vacated on three grounds: (1) the indictment was insufficient to allow him to prepare a defense and protect against double jeopardy; (2) the government improperly used its peremptory strikes based on gender; and (3) insufficient evidence existed to support his conviction. The government argues that the district court based its decision to depart downward from the sentence range on improper grounds. We affirm Steele's conviction but vacate Steele's sentence and remand for resentencing.
