   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  21-1676
   U.S. District Court for the Western District of Missouri - Kansas City   
   [PUBLISHED] [Loken, Author, with Arnold and Kobes, Circuit Judges] 
   Criminal case - Sentencing. In considering defendant's First Step Act 
   motion for a sentence reduction, the district court was not required to 
   apply Guidelines Amendment 742, a nonretroactive amendment that would have 
   reduced defendant's amended range; the district court correctly determined 
   the amended guidelines range before ruling on the First Step Act motion; 
   the district court explained the reasons for its First Step Act sentencing 
   decision and did not abuse its discretion in imposing a sentence which 
   reduced defendant's time from life to 480 months.
