United States v. Cowan

The Eighth Circuit affirmed the district court's denial of defendant's 18 U.S.C. 3582(c)(2) motion to reduce his sentence under Guidelines Amendment 782. The court held that the district court did not err in denying defendant's motion because his plea agreement explicitly waived the right to seek section 3582(c)(2) relief. Furthermore, defendant was not entitled to relief because he was sentenced as a career offender, not drug quantities. View "United States v. Cowan" on Justia Law
