Holding The question before the court in United States v. Sansbury was whether the application of a four-level sentencing enhancement for abduction under U.S.S.G. § 2B3.1(b)(4)(A) was justified. The district court found a 4-level increase was applicable because the court concluded that moving the cashier to the restroom did facilitate the commission of the robbery of the pharmacy. On appeal, the Fifth Circuit affirmed the district court's ruling that the 4-level sentencing enhancement was properly calculated in the PSR.
