Does the sentencing guidelines under Rule 32(c)(3)(3) of the Federal Guidelines violate due process or violate substantive or procedural due process?
MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from U.S. v. Jones, 907 F.2d 929 (9th Cir. 1990):
This court recently determined that the Guidelines do not unduly limit the sentencing court's discretion to individualize a defendant's sentence, and thus do not violate substantive or procedural due process. United States v. Brady, 895 F.2d 538 (9th Cir.1990). We affirm the district court's determination that the Guidelines do not violate due process either on their face or as applied in this case. See id. at 544.
