UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

v. 

JERRY DEAN SUMMERLIN, 

Defendant-Appellant. 

TENTH CIRCUIT FEB 2 5 1 91

Clerk 

No. 90-5111 

(D.C. No. 89-CR-131-E) 

( N. D. Okla. ) 

ORDER AND JUDGMENT* 

Be f ore ANDERSON, TACHA, a nd BRORBY, Circuit Judges. 

After examining the briefs and appellate record, this panel 

has determined unanimously that oral argument would not materially 

assist the de termination of this appeal. See Fed. R. App. P. 

34(a); 10th Cir. R. 34.1.9. The case is therefore ordered 

submitted without oral argument. 

Appellant Jerry Dean Summerlin appeals his sentence imposed 

by the district court under the Federal Sentencing Guidelines. 

The appellant was convicted by a jury of possession of a firearm 

after conviction of a felony in violation of 18 u.s.c. 

§ 922(g)(l). Under the Guidelines appellant had a criminal 

history category of V. His adjusted offense level was twelve. 

* This order and judgment has no precedential value and shall 

not be cited, or used by any court within the Tenth Circuit, 

except for purposes of establishing the doctrines of the law of 

the case, res judicata, or collateral estoppal. 10th Cir. R. 

36.3.

The appellant's Guidelines sentence range was twenty-seven to 

thirty-three months. The district judge decided to depart upward 

and imposed a sentence of sixty months' imprisonment plus three 

years' supervised release and a fifty dollar assessment. 

The United States concedes that the district court erred in 

sentencing appellant because of the absence from the record of a 

recital of the circumstances justifying the trial court's upward 

departure from the Guidelines artd the circumstances supporting the 

reasonableness of the departure. See United States Y..:.. Jackson, 

No. 89-6118, slip op. at 7-9, 11-12 (10th Cir. Dec. 17, 1990) (en 

bane); United States Y..:.. Freitekh, 912 F.2d 421, 423 (10th Cir. 

1990); United States Y..:.. White, 893 F.2d 276 (10th Cir. 1990); 

United States Y..:.. Smith, 888 F.2d 720, 724 (10th Cir. 1989) cert. 

denied, 110 S. Ct. 1786 (1990). Because the district court gave 

an inadequate explanation of the reasons for departure and no 

reasons for the degree of departure we VACATE the sentence and 

REMAND for sentencing consistent with the mandates of the cited 

cases of this circuit. The mandate shall issue forthwith.
