Affirmed
Dist. Ct. did not err in denying six defendant's motions to reduce their sentences pursuant to 18 USC section 3582(c)(2) based on retroactive crack cocaine amendments to U.S. Sentencing Guidelines where record supported Dist. Ct.'s findings that all six defendants were responsible for distributing over 4.5 kilograms of crack cocaine, and where said quantities qualified defendants for same offense level under new guidelines that was assigned to them at original sentencing hearings. Moreover, Dist. Ct. did not err in making new drug quantity findings since new findings were not inconsistent with findings made at original sentencing hearings.
