   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  18-3408
   U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota   
[PUBLISHED] [Colloton, Author, with Wollman and Benton, Circuit Judges] Criminal case - Sentencing. Where a district court reduces a sentence below the statutory minimum on the basis of cooperation, it is well-settled law that the court can only consider assistance-related considerations in deciding the extent of the reduction; even assuming that defendant's personal characteristics were relevant to the significance and usefulness of her assistance, defendant has not established that the court refused to consider any assistance-related consideration or that explicit consideration of her preferred factor was reasonably likely to have affected her sentence; defendant was not entitled to relief under the First Step Act as her conviction was not entered on or after the date of enactment of the Act.
