Kikumura points to language in the Kikumura III opinion which he offers to suggest his Trial Counsel were ineffective for failing to argue for the full panoply of trial rights in connection with the upward departure.
Kikumura argues because Kikumura III was the first court to hold that a defendant had a due process right to challenge the departure on "tail wagging the dog" grounds, he should be excused for the default.
Kikumura cites Thomas for the proposition that a departure cannot be used as a "convenient detour" around the Guidelines to obtain "additional punishment for an uncharged crime, 'unfettered by the constraints of producing admissible evidence and proving [the] case beyond a reasonable doubt.' " Moving Brief at 21 (citing Thomas, 961 F.2d at 1121).
