Sentencing — crack cocaine — retroactivity
Where defendants were each responsible for distributing more than 4.5 kilograms of crack cocaine, the district court properly denied their motions to reduce their sentences pursuant to 18 U.S.C. 3582(c)(2) based on the retroactive crack cocaine amendments to the sentencing guidelines.
“We commend the district court for the procedure it followed. The district court appointed counsel in connection with each defendants’ § 3582(c)(2) motions, and probation prepared new reports as to each defendants’ request for a reduced sentence. After considering each defendants’ request for a sentence modification, the district court prepared written orders detailing the basis of its decision.”
Affirmed.
