definition in eighteen nineteen twenty one a twenty which says that the court must make the determination of whether an underlying felony qualifies based on the law of the jurisdiction where the conviction occurred mr  maroulis convictions were convictions in the state of washington and therefore washington law had to be the law looked to by the court to govern it in addition mr really never never claimed that he was not governed by this indeterminate statutory committed after the effective date of the guidelines and in fact the reason what happened was in one thousand nine hundred two court of appeals in little in oregon court of appeals case there the trial court had followed the that old indeterminate maximum doesn't apply anymore this is a determinant sentence under the guidelines and the guidelines control the statutory maximum sentence in response to little the legislature came back and amended the guidelines and what they did was they said no we're going to say that the old statutory maximum is going to put the ceiling so even a two hundred percent rule for upward departures under the guidelines could allow higher standards we're going to not look to to that particular statute one three five point four zero seven which under oregon law precludes an upward departure not just for mr garrison but for any defendant who offers a plea that's accepted by the court under that to referring to that requires conformity with the stipulation it is zero r s one three five point four zero seven and it is contained in the appendix of my initial brief and that maximum upward departure if the court said no i'm not going impose probation i'm going to impose what's called a dispositional departure the maximum sentence would still be twelve months incarceration for him and the court can see that i i 'm raising it at argument to give the court that information it's reflected on the organ sentencing guidelines grid which is on page three of the appendix and my initial opening brief and it would show a departure the maximum would be twelve months still less than a year again i don't say that that controls for mr harrison's case because he pled pursuant to another part of oregon statutory law that said the court i'm really out the defendant admitted that that the statutory maximum penalty for his offense was five years of imprisonment it doesn't really discussed the the next from an upward departure under the washington guidelines the federal guidelines the category of the offense is that at the time of the of the the plea it's part of the charging document it's not a determination made after a defendant pleads guilty and then the court looks at various facts and probation looks at various facts and the parties argue about it it's actually the category of the offense from one to eleven is set by statute and when crimes such as drug crimes which have various categories the increase facts those facts are elements of the statutory offense and they have to be alleged in the indictment proven beyond a reasonable doubt ordinated by the defendant that has always been the law in oregon with the with the crime balance of your time and we'll see what the government after talking about the fact their particular case the issue presented as described by judge thompson says starts off the neural decision united states versus reals beltrami we held for purposes of the federal sentencing enhancement that a defendant's prior oregon state conviction was of an aggravated felony or a crime quote punishable by more than one years imprisonment ethical state or federal office because the maximum statutory sentence with a term of five years even though on the oregon sentencing guidelines the offense actual maximum possible term of imprisonment was ninety days mr garrison's case on the stolen potentially could have been imposed based upon the particular facts that person's case is not the relevant inquiry which is what midwood is having to do today if you go down that path we look to the maximum penalty allowed by law in determining whether a prior conviction constitutes in the real ok's in the real spell train case an aggravated felony under state law for purposes of the applicable sentencing guidelines cited the mental hernandez case is also discuss been imposed against a particular defendant for his commission of that crime according to the state's sentencing guidelines you know there are throughout the senate's brief saying that that the government has incorrectly or is trying to mislead you judges saying that this is the wrong way to look at oregon law but i'm just the prosecutor if you look at the transcripts in this case judge hogan is rude twice that's the argument i'm making to use a valid one but he's not alone district court judge king and mosman likewise in the equivalent of the statute and that it is categorically impossible for defendant charged with a particular crime not particular to the dependant but to the charge and to the conviction if there is no absolutely no way that that defendant could be imprisoned for more than a year then why is it not within the one which was later changed ok so oregon supreme court has said the guidelines are what look to to determine a defendant's maximum sentence that's for that's that part of her brief is absolutely accurate but that's not what the federal law says we look at we don't look at what an individual's presumption presumptive sentencing guideline range is going to be we don't look at what an individual's stipulated sentence could be with the federal rule says one twenty one twenty eight twenty is that is the maximum punishment more than one year so for example resorting to state law according to state law the state law that's the problem not if you look at the statu clear taylor says he looked at those elements and that is one of the reasons why judge hogan in his opinion in this case said that's the approach to take so yes diltz who can say what an individual defendant's sense is going to be and his word repeatedly s space but that's not what we look to see if the crime was punishable by a term of imprisonment seeing one year you look to what the statute says and that's been the government's response from the beginning if you go down the statutory road the government's correct in this case you go down the sentencing guideline wrote the government's incorrect on the fence correct but that's already been decided by this course previously ultimately with morello and he for the questions thank you repeat nonviolent drug offenders would be sentenced to probation notwithstanding the fact that if you didn't fall into that category of criminal history you'd be facing a term exceeding one year and the court made a very careful an what arizona law has said is the maximum statutory penalty in making this determination and the problem with the with the government's urging this court to adopt in meaningless and outdated
