United States of America, Appellee v. Jamie Medina, Appellant (2018)

ORDER

Upon consideration of the motion for summary affirmance and the responses thereto, it is

ORDERED that the motion be granted. The merits of the parties' positions are so clear as to warrant summary action. See Taxpayers Watchdog, Inc. v. Stanley, 819 F.2d 294, 297 (D.C. Cir. 1987) (per curiam). Because the appellant's 180-month sentence is lower than the minimum of the amended guideline range (235 months), appellant is ineligible for a sentence reduction under Amendments 782 and 788 to the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines. See U.S.S.G. § 1B1.10(b)(2)(A) (“[T]he court shall not reduce the defendant's term of imprisonment ․ to a term that is less than the minimum of the amended guideline range ․”); see also United States v. Taylor, 743 F.3d 876, 879-80 (D.C. Cir. 2014) (per curiam).

Pursuant to D.C. Circuit Rule 36, this disposition will not be published. The Clerk is directed to withhold issuance of the mandate herein until seven days after resolution of any timely petition for rehearing or petition for rehearing en banc. See Fed. R. App. P. 41(b); D.C. Cir. Rule 41.
