   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  11-3563
   U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Iowa - Davenport   
   [PUBLISHED] [Murphy, Author, with Melloy, Circuit Judge, and Kyle,
   District Judge]
   Criminal Case - sentence reduction. Commission did not exceed its
   statutory authority to limit sentence reductions below the bottom of the
   amended guidelines range to defendants who had provided substantial
   assistance; Commissions's applicable policy statement fell well within its
   statutory authority. Policy statement did not violate nondelegation
   doctrine and separation of powers; consideration of section 3553(a)(2)
   factors provided intelligible principle to guide its work. District court's
   reduction to 20% below amended guideline is affirmed.
