you replaceable in providing care which is the standard this court applied and leon case this written in the departure by the district court echoed what the court said at the hearing where it specifically noted that there were other family members who were assisting in care and there were probably nurses and people who could provide care for the defendant's mother so this legal analysis was not focused in the correct way would lead you to think that it was entirely retrospect the what the court state at the hearing included when you have a preexisting relationship i e a historical relationship plus what the court referred to as a particular injury which i think is forward looking in the sense the court was saying  forward looking in there but this type of analysis where the district court was looking at particular injury he would there the inconvenience or difficulties or things harder on the family is not the sort of forward looking  drugs apparently three three times beginning in march two thousand and three a month to that while he was on pretrial release is when he became the sole caregiver according to scott where the i'm sorry the primary caregiver and this was because the sister who was the primary that the mother needed included in swanage injections twice a day and meals talk for her those sorts of things perhaps can be done by the sister but also perhaps with some help hired by the family defendant and what's very courts relied on the historical role plus any orally also stating i sort of vaguely a particular injury so the court i did find it in our view that that there would be some harm to the the from things would be difficult said that there were grief clinical concerns that if the defendant were incarcerated for a long period of time that there would be harm to the person they needed care here we don't have that sort  of testimony we have the normal types of emotional loss that the mother will feel having her son in prison in the total prison time for a federal drug case pre departure here was thirty which is half of w signify only it still continues treeview the district court's factual findings underlying a departure that was granted for clear error the government says that this is not in issue the standard review was an issue because this case isn't about factual disputes but i think it's hard to miss the fact that when you read the briefs that this is all about factual disputes and the main factual dispute is was mr young the irreplaceable caretaker for his mother alice i don't think so your honor and saying that i understand that this is a new area for for the court as well as the bar as to how the court's going to address these kinds of departure appeals traditionally i think it was always considered in the district court a question of fact to the facts justify the don't want to partner for extraordinary family circumstances is this person is at the central or irreplaceable character and if you don't like i think that it made by the government in answering judge hansen's question my client was not the primary caretaker for his mother purely for the six months before the sentencing and the record is clear about that the letter that alex young submitted to the court said matthew is and always has been my primary caregiver her doctor also wrote a letter that said that quote matthew has service or caregiver diligently these past few years and continues to do so through doing this for a long time in fact he was care to a mother because she because of her pregnancy she had to stop working for a time period she was living in the home with the mother and mr young  well i think that that that and using contacts with the statements by both alice and her doctor saying that he was the primary caregiver shows that that while during the period time she was in the home she was a just record it is it said that this is a woman who's going to give birth soon she's going to be returning to work full time soon and her and her husband are planning to move back into their own home this is not a woman who this is a woman who i believe the court said use the word this this is a woman young woman is going to be occupied rather fully for a period of time and therefore the district court recognized that she can think on the role that the sixteen you'll see that mr young on it actually moved into the family home in december of two thousand and one and at that time not his mother was that but also his father was had respective of what the probation officer determined to term and i don't think that there's any question that judge knight or didn't that he was the primary caregiver and i think that's all that relevant to the court here because the court doesn't do and there weren't the resources to hire somebody to do it i believe so i believe that when the court i believe definitely so you're right when the court said that it recognized that there are other family members who are two ok well as i point on the briefs if the problem on the court has is that the court did not make its intentions clear and that can be remedied by returning the case to the district court senate you know we just can't figure out what you are doing here we want to know that here's the standard make the factual findings that are necessary to determine either that the departure is appropriate or isn't appropriate i don't see the govern one i can for you to the the portions of the record that describe her medical problems point out that she has a different question the question tense of around the clock care is a different issue than having medical record twenty round the clock care it's a different issue than having medical problems i think that i mean the brother himself recognized that christopher saying government's argument on appeal is that all these family members can step in and they can make the sacrifices financially or otherwise to do this the sad fact is the nicest every parent to depend on children like that but that's not the fact and they don't  living with his mother his sister was also living with his mother the record says getting in october two thousand and two the sister was living with his mother on the record i would say whether or not matthew ever moved out  from them otherwise a political mandatory minimum where the departure was substantial both in relative terms and you know was four levels and we think clearly this is where that you gave away the mandatory minimum when you gave when you gave the safety  make my record below well your i think first of all i don't think that post protect act there are any up or departure the decisions of this court there are a lot of the pressures are a lot less frequent at least at least in our district and i think in
