151342P.pdf   07/01/2016  United States  v.  Danny Lewis
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  15-1342
   U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas - Little Rock   
[PUBLISHED] [Colloton, Author, with Wollman and Melloy, Circuit Judges] Criminal case - Sentencing. The district court's failure to calculate an amended guidelines range in accordance with Guidelines Sec. 1B1.10(B)(1) before ruling on defendant's motion to modify his sentence under Amendment 782 was error, but the error was harmless; it was not an abuse of discretion for the court to adhere to its original decision that 120 months was an appropriate sentence even with a modestly reduced guidelines range, and, in imposing the new sentence, the court could incorporate by reference its reasoning from the original hearing; this explanation was sufficient to allow meaningful appellate review of the denial of the motion for modification of sentence.
