U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 19-1701
U.S. District Court for the District of Nebraska - Omaha
[PUBLISHED] [Colloton, Author, with Benton, Circuit Judge, and Williams,
District Judge]
Criminal case -Sentencing. The record does not support defendant's
argument that the court focused on the wrong drug quantity in deciding
whether the statutory penalties for his crack offenses were modified by
the Fair Sentencing Act; the court, in declining to exercise its
discretion to modify the sentence, did not dispute defendant's contention
that the Fair Sentencing Act modified his sentence and did not
categorically state defendant was ineligible for a reduction.
