Affirmed
Dist. Ct. did not err in denying defendant’s motion to reduce his 20-year sentence on possession of crack cocaine in light of retroactive amendments to Sentencing Guidelines, as well as Fair Sentencing Act. Fair Sentencing Act did not apply to defendant where his conviction and sentence occurred prior to Act’s effective date, and defendant was not entitled to any reduction of his sentence unless Act applied.
