The following excerpt is from U.S. v. Grewal, 39 F.3d 1189 (9th Cir. 1994):
To resolve a conflict among the circuits on "whether a reviewing court may affirm a sentence in which a district court's departure from the guideline range is based on both valid and invalid factors," the United States Supreme Court considered Williams v. United States, 112 S.Ct. 1112, 1118 (1992).
