This afternoon brought two notable circuit reasonable rulings.  Notably, the Eleventh Circuit ruling reversing a below-guidelines sentence in a high-profile white-collar case, US v. Livesay, No. 06-11303 (11th Cir. Apr. 23, 2008) (available here) is published; the Fourth Circuit ruling affirming a below-guidelines sentence in a low-profile child porn case, US v. Smith, No. 06-4885 (4th Cir. Apr. 23, 2008) (available here) is unpublished.
