Career Offender Does Not Violate Double Jeopardy
      U.S. v. Andrews, -- F.3d --, 2006 WL 1217261 (10th Cir. 5/8/06) - the ยง 4B1.1 career offender enhancement does not violate double jeopardy.  Mr. Andrews' bank robbery sentence is reversed, however, for non-constitutional Booker error.  Mr. Andrews had previously been resentenced after a successful gov't appeal of a downward departure for aberrant behavior and community ties and on remand, the district court applied the GLs as mandatory.  Because the district court indicated it would have liked to impose a significantly shorter sentence, the miscarriage of justice standard is met.
