United States Eleventh Circuit
US v. Williams, 0812475.
Grant of defendant's motion for a reduced sentence pursuant to 18 U.S.C. section 3582 for distribution of crack cocaine is reversed and remanded where: 1) because defendant was subject to a statutory mandatory minimum that replaced his original sentencing guideline, defendant was not sentenced according to the base offense level in section 2D1.1, even taking into account the section 5K1.1 downward departure; and 2) defendant would thus not fall within the scope of the Amendment 706.
