192402P.pdf 09/04/2020 United States v. Edward Booker
U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 19-2402
U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Iowa - Davenport
[PUBLISHED] [Loken, Author, with Shepherd and Erickson, Circuit Judges]
Criminal case - Sentencing. Booker moved for a First Step Act reduction,
and the court reduced his sentence from 380 months to 277 months; the
district court did not abuse its discretion in determining it would not
grant Booker a even greater sentence reduction; Booker's arguments that
the court's procedures in the case violated the First Step Act's "complete
review" requirement or his due process rights rejected; Booker had notice
and opportunity to respond and the court issued an order adequately
explaining the basis for its decision - there is no constitutional
obligation to do more.
