LAURIE CAMP, District Judge
The Court has received the Presentence Investigation Report ("PSR") and the Defendant's objections thereto (Filing No. 45). The Court has also received the Defendant's motions for concurrent time (Filing No. 46), downward departure (Filing No. 47) and deviation from the sentencing guidelines (Filing No. 48). The Court has considered the brief in support of the motion for deviation from the guidelines (Filing No. 49). See "Order on Sentencing Schedule," ¶ 6. The Court advises the parties that these Tentative Findings are issued with the understanding that, pursuant to United States v. Booker, 2005 WL 50108 (U.S. Jan. 12, 2005), the sentencing guidelines are advisory.
The Defendant objects to the quantity of controlled substance attributable to the Defendant in ¶ 29 and the base offense level 28. The plea agreement reached pursuant to Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 11(c)(1)(C) requires a base offense level of 26. The Court's tentative findings are that, absent unusual circumstances, the Rule 11(c)(1)(C) plea agreement should be upheld and the base offense level should be calculated as level 26.
The Defendant's motions for concurrent time, departure, and deviation from the guidelines will be addressed at sentencing.
IT IS ORDERED:
1. The Court's tentative findings are that the Defendant's objections (Filing No. 45) to the PSR are granted;
2. The Defendant's motions for concurrent time (Filing No. 46, departure (Filing No. 47), and deviation from the guidelines (Filing No. 48) will be addressed at sentencing;
3. The parties are notified that my tentative findings are that the PSR is correct in all other respects;
4. If any party wishes to challenge these tentative findings, the party shall file, as soon as possible but in any event before sentencing, and serve upon opposing counsel and the court a motion challenging these tentative findings, supported by (a) such evidentiary materials as are required (giving due regard to the requirements of the local rules of practice respecting the submission of evidentiary materials), (b) a brief as to the law, and (c) if an evidentiary hearing is requested, a statement describing why an evidentiary hearing is necessary and an estimated length of time for the hearing;
5. Absent submission of the information required by paragraph 3 of this order, my tentative findings may become final;
6. Unless otherwise ordered, any motion challenging these tentative findings shall be resolved at sentencing.
