PRESENT: PETER W. HALL, RAYMOND J. LOHIER, JR., Circuit Judges. JANE A. RESTANI, Judge.* _________________________________________ United States of America, Appellant, v. No. 17-3904-cr Saba Rosario Ventura, Defendant-Appellee. _________________________________________ *Judge Jane A. Restani of the United States Court of International Trade, sitting by designation. For Appellant: FRANK TURNER BUFORD, Assistant United States Attorney (David C. James, Assistant United States Attorney, on the brief) for Richard P.
