    United States v. Keiron Bryant, 4th Cir. (2012)

    Uploaded by

    Scribd Government Docs
    The United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit affirmed the district court's denial of Keiron Wayne Bryant's motion to reduce his sentence. The district court found it lacked authority to reduce Bryant's 120-month sentence, as it was the statutory mandatory minimum for his crack cocaine offense. As Bryant was sentenced pursuant to a mandatory statutory minimum, he was ineligible for a reduction under Section 3582(c)(2) despite Amendment 750 to the Sentencing Guidelines. The Court of Appeals reviewed the record and agreed with the district court's reasoning for denying the motion.
