How later courts describe this case

  • requiring objections to the PSR to be made “with specificity and clarity” so that the district court can delineate what is and is not a specifically disputed issue of fact
  • where defendant did not present specific rebuttal evidence district court had discretion to adopt PSPs facts without more specific inquiry
  • "While any information with `sufficient indicia of reliability to support its probable accuracy' may be considered in making the sentencing fnctfindings, .. there must be `an acceptable evidential basis' for the court's factfindings at the sentencing hearing." (citations omitted)
