    "ocrText": "Robinson indictment or convictions, 18 U.S.C. 1952A. Guidelines\nSection 2A2. (a) has always been applicable to those statutory\nviolation counts.\nIn addition, there are other requirements of law and statements\nof fact that support Robinson's contention that the sentencing\nguidelines were misapplied in this case. For example:\n1 - U.S.S.G. 1B1.11(b)(2), the so-called \"One Book Rule,\"\nbecame effective law on November 1, 1992. This sentencing guideline\nrule dictates that \"The Guideline Manual in effect on a particular\ndate shall be applied in its entirety.\" U.S. V. Boula, 997 F.2d\n263, 266 (7th Cir. 1993) ; U.S. V. Anderson, 61 F.3d 1290, 1301 (7th\nCir. 1995). In this particular case, based on Judge Zagel's\nuncontested finding of fact in his April 13, 1998 J and C Order that\nthe two (2) guideline offenses (racketeering and narcotics\nconspiracies) ended on March 9, 1989, the 1988 Revised Edition\nversion of the Guidelines Manual was effective law at that time\nand must therefore be used in its entirety. In this particular\ncase, based on the Guidelines Manual's Appendix A - Statutory\nIndex, only guideline Section 2A2. (a) is the proper applicable\nguideline for violations of 18 U.S.C. 1952A. Robinson's charged\nunderlying racketeering activity\" for the racketeering count (a\ncharged violation of 18 U.S.C. 1962, 1963), supported by the\ngovernment's indictment, initial trial and retrial evidence, was\nconspiracy or solicitation to commit murder,\" not \"first degree\nmurder!\" Guideline Section 2E1.4 is the most applicable guideline\nfor the racketeering statute violation.\n2 - The prosecuting Assistant U.S. Attorneys (Victoria J.\nPeters, Matthew M. Schneider) in this case declared in the\nGovernment's Amended Version Of The Offense dated September 15, 1997,\na PSI Report supplement, that \"the most applicable guideline for\n[Noah's charged] underlying racketeering activity\" is guideline\nSection 2A2.1(a), the solicitation and conspiracy to murder\nguideline. Barber was murdered. Noah did not kill him. Section\n2A2. (a) reflected Noah's charged role in the Barber offense,\naccording to the government's evidence. See, Exhibit J.\nThe prosecuting attorneys' assessment of the most applicable\nguideline for Noah Robinson's role in the Barber offense, Section\n2A1.1(a), is at odds with the U.S. Probation Office's assessment\nof the most applicable guideline, Section 2A1. (a). Please note\nthat in the federal criminal justice system, it is the government\nprosecutor who has - over any judge or probation officer- - the\nexclusive charging authority, and their charging assessments must\nbe given deference.\n3 - Appendix A - Statutory Index of each and every version of\nthe Guidelines Manual specifies the guideline section or sections\nordinarily applicable to the statute of conviction. In the 1988\nRevised Edition of the Guidelines Manual - the Guidelines Manual\nin effect when Judge Zagel ruled that the RICO conspiracy offense\nended - the guideline section(s) applicable to 18 U.S.C. 1952A and\n9"
