” Claiborne, 439 F.3d. at 481 (quoting United States v. Johnson, 427 F.3d 423, 426-27 (7th Cir.2005)). Therefore, “the farther the district court varies from the presumptively reasonable guidelines range, the more compelling the justification based on the § 3553(a) factors must be.” United States v. McMannus, 436 F.3d 871, 874 (8th Cir.2006). Here, the district court imposed a sentence of probation when the bottom of Gall’s advisory Guidelines range was 30 months’ incarceration. In essence, this amounts to a 100% downward variance, as Gall will not serve any prison time. Such a variance is extraordinary. “An extraordinary reduction must be supported by extraordinary circumstances.” United States v. Dalton, 404 F.3d 1029, 1033 (8th Cir.2005); see also Claiborne, 439 F.3d at 481 (<HOLDING>). We conclude that this extraordinary variance
holding a sentence is not based on the guidelines unless the plea agreement itself expressly uses a guidelines sentencing range to establish the term of imprisonment holding that a sentence of twelve months imprisonment was unreasonably lenient where the defendant engaged in wire fraud and caused 90000 in losses and the guidelines range was sixtythree to seventyeight months imprisonment holding that the district courts imposition of a 15month sentence when the guidelines range was 37 to 46 months imprisonment a 60 downward variance was unreasonable holding that substantial downward variance was substantively unreasonable holding that the district courts use of an incorrect method for calculating the amount of drugs at issue was harmless because the end result under either method would have resulted in the court departfingj downward from the guidelines range and rendering a sentence within the statutory maximum of 240 months imprisonment and njothing in the record moreover suggests that the district court would have imposed a sentence of less than 240 months
