    The United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit affirmed the district court's denial of Ellis Lee Williams' motion for a sentence reduction under the Fair Sentencing Act. The Court held that 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2) does not provide a way to apply the minimum sentences in the FSA retroactively. As the facts and legal arguments were adequately presented in the case materials, the Court dispensed with oral arguments.
