District court’s imposition of a 15-month term of imprisonment on each count of bank robbery and attempted robbery to be served concurrently is vacated and remanded for resentencing as the district court, believing it was acting in defendant’s best interests because of his need of medical care, violated section 3582(a) in imposing a sentence of incarceration at the top of the Guidelines range.
