   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  20-1916
   U.S. District Court for the District of Nebraska - Omaha   
   [PUBLISHED] [Loken, Author, with Wollman and Stras, Circuit Judges] 
   Criminal case - Sentencing - First Step Act. The district court did not 
   abuse its discretion by denying Milton's motion for a First Step Act 
   sentence reduction; the district court may consider the 3553(a) factors in 
   deciding the motion, but it is not required to; the entire sentencing 
   record, including prior motions for sentence reduction, supports the 
   finding that Milton was responsible for 5.2 kilos of crack and that the 
   bottom of his amended range under the First Step Act would remain at 360 
   months; the district court did not err in refusing to consider Milton's 
   request for compassionate release where he had not exhausted his 
   administrative remedies with the BOP.
