U.S. v. Purnell

Dist. Ct. did not err in denying defendant’s motion for reduction in sentence on charges of crack cocaine distribution and use of firearm in furtherance of drug trafficking under section 3582(c) of Fair Sentencing Act (FSA). Record showed that defendant’s 78-month original sentence was within reduced guideline range of FSA, and Dist. Ct. could properly look to defendant’s false statements made in his post-conviction efforts to set aside his firearm conviction to deny instant request for discretionary reduction of sentence.
