United States v. Brown

U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit
United States v. Brown, 312 F. App'x 201 (11th Cir. 2009)

United States v. Brown

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM:

Charles Brown, a federal prisoner convicted of a crack cocaine offense, pro se appeals the district court’s denial of his 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2) motion for a sentence reduction based on an amendment to the Sentencing Guidelines that lowered the base offense levels applicable to crack cocaine. The district court denied Brown’s § 3582(c)(2) motion because the sentencing court based Brown’s sentence on a statutory mandatory term of life imprisonment and not according to the base level in § 2D 1.1. Therefore, Brown was not entitled to a sentence reduction under the crack cocaine amendments. United States v. Williams, 549 F.3d 1337 (11th Cir. 2008).

AFFIRMED.
