UNITED STATES v. BLACKMON (2019)

James Edward Blackmon appeals the district court's order denying his motion for a sentence reduction under the First Step Act of 2018, Pub. L. No. 115-391, 132 Stat. 5194 (FSA). Although the Government opposed Blackmon's motion in the district court, it concedes on appeal that Blackmon is eligible for relief under the FSA. In light of the Government's concession, we vacate the district court's order denying Blackmon's motion for a sentence reduction and remand the matter to the district court so the court may determine whether, given the Government's concession, Blackmon should be resentenced under the FSA. We grant Blackmon's unopposed motion to expedite a decision in this appeal and direct the Clerk's Office to issue the mandate forthwith. We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before this court and argument would not aid the decisional process.

VACATED AND REMANDED

PER CURIAM:

Vacated and remanded by unpublished per curiam opinion. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
