United States v. Darnell Norton

U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit
United States v. Darnell Norton, 669 F. App'x 329 (8th Cir. 2016)

United States v. Darnell Norton

Opinion

PER CURIAM.

Darnell Michael Norton appeals after the district court 1 denied his motion for a sentence reduction under 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2). Having jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, this court affirms.

The district court did not abuse its discretion in denying a sentence reduction, as it adequately examined the sentencing factors and public safety concerns, and ex *330 plained its reasoning. See United States v. Long, 757 F.3d 762, 768 (8th Cir. 2014) (abuse-of-discretion review of discretionary decision whether to grant authorized § 3582(c)(2) modification); see also United States v. Curry, 584 F.3d 1102, 1103-05 (8th Cir. 2009) (district court did not abuse its discretion in declining to reduce defendant’s sentence under § 3582(c)(2) due to defendant’s criminal history).

The judgment is affirmed and counsel’s motion to withdraw is granted.

. The Honorable Linda R. Reade, Chief Judge, United States District Court for the Northem District of Iowa.
