Text: 9 The District Court conducted a total of eight sentencing hearings. In addition to their initial sentencing briefs, the parties submitted three sets of supplemental briefs, and the probation office submitted two addenda to the PSR. In addition, the District Court requested and heard testimony from both of Ramirez's CYA parole officers and from the YOPB member who had signed the two temporary detention orders. 10 On December 7, 2001, the District Court issued its sentencing decision. 3 Specifically, the District Court found that (1) Ramirez's parole was not revo[ked] as that term is used in U.S.S.G. § 4A1.2(k); (2) Ramirez's temporary detentions were not the result of an adjudication of guilt and therefore could not be treated as prior sentences under U.S.S.G. § 4A1.2(d)(2)(B); and (3) in light of the above findings, Ramirez was eligible for a safety-valve departure under U.S.S.G. § 5C1.2. On January 2, 2002, the government filed its notice of appeal.
