Intriguing Ninth Circuit Booker pipeline case
The Ninth Circuit today in US v. Lence, No. 05-30236 (9th Cir. July 27, 2006) (available here) discusses this question: "whether a criminal defendant has a right to be resentenced by his original sentencing judge on remand following Booker error." Here is the money quote:
We believe the proper course is for the original sentencing judge to conduct the resentencing, particularly where the judge felt strongly enough to make on-the-record statements about the propriety of the sentence he was required to impose under the Guidelines.

I am a court interpreter (Spanish) for the Western District of Texas and have been part of an online discussion group this evening in which none of our federal defense attorneys know what a pipeline case is. They keep guessing that it must have to do with illegal immigration coming up the I-35 corridor from Mexico (hence: pipeline). That just doesn't sound right to me.
