How later courts describe this case
- holding that prejudice is shown where a sentencing error may affect the determination of sentence
- remanding where incorrect finding of acceptance of responsibility was applied; mere fact that sentence falls into overlap between respective sentencing ranges urged by the parties does not indicate district court would have given same sentence
- remand appropriate where it was unclear whether the district court would give the same sentence absent an erroneous adjustment for acceptance of responsibility
