U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 20-1622
U.S. District Court for the District of Nebraska - Omaha
[PUBLISHED] [Colloton, Author, with Smith, Chief Judge, and Erickson,
Circuit Judges]
Criminal case - Sentencing. The district court did not abuse its
discretion by denying defendant's motion for a First Step Act reduction;
the court has wide latitude to weigh the relevant factors and to assign
some greater weight than others in making its decision; nothing in the
First Step Act required the district court to grant defendant relief based
on defendant's challenge to his career offender status.
