UNITED STATES v. RAVEN (2021)

Michael Dwight Raven, federal prisoner # 46219-079, appealed the district court's denial of his motion to reduce his sentence pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c) and the First Step Act of 2018. We entered a limited remand for the purpose of having the district court clarify its ruling as to what statutes it considered and whether it concluded it lacked authority or whether its ruling was based upon discretionary considerations. The district court issued a prompt order which we have now considered in addition to the arguments and briefing of the parties as well as the remainder of the record. We conclude that the district court did not commit reversible error. AFFIRMED.
