Vacated and remanded

Defendants were entitled to third full sentencing hearing on charges of racketeering, drug distribution and extortion charges, after Dist. Ct. had imposed certain terms and conditions of supervised release. Dist. Ct. failed to give defendants advance notice that it was considering imposition of discretionary conditions of supervised release that were eventually imposed and had imposed certain conditions that were either vague or overbroad or were not announced during sentencing hearing but were included in written order. Dist. Ct. also erred by failing to calculate applicable guideline range of one defendant and in failing to make explicit finding as to whether said defendant had accepted responsibility for his charged offenses.
