In United States v. Cashaw; No.09-51035, the United States 5th Circuit Court of Appeals has held that if in a PSR a Defendant is found to be a minor participant and come under the career ofender provision, the career ofender provision will prevent any downward adjustment underthe minor participant provision. The Fifth Circuit explained that the Federal Sentencing Guidlines require following a step-by-step sequence to determine a sentence. The career ofender provision expressly authorizes an adjustment for acceptance of responsibility.
