United States Eleventh Circuit

Defendant's cocaine base distribution sentence is affirmed where the "safety-valve" provision in 18 U.S.C. section 3553(f), which allowed a sentencing court to disregard a statutory minimum sentence in certain circumstances, could not be applied when a defendant's sentence was modified downward pursuant to 18 U.S.C. section 3582(c)(2).
