MEMORANDUM *
Arturo Campos (“Campos”), Ignacio Felix (“Felix”), Alex Manon (“Manon”) and Michael Vasquez (“Vasquez”) (collectively “Defendants”) pleaded guilty to conspiring to engage in drug trafficking on behalf of the Mexican Mafia in violation of the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act, 18 U.S.C. § 1962 (d). At sentencing, the district court held each defendant accountable for his own drug dealing as well as the drug trafficking of his co-defendants that occurred while he participated in the conspiracy. In addition, the district court attributed to each defendant the drug activity of Jesse Detevis (“Detevis”), an indicted co-conspirator and member of the Mexican Mafia who testified on behalf of the government.
Defendants raise various sentencing related claims on appeal, principally alleging that the district court based its drug quantity determinations on insufficient and unreliable evidence. For the most part we agree. We have jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1291 , and we vacate each defendant’s sentence and remand for resentencing.
