United States Second Circuit

Modification of a sentence pursuant to 18 U.S.C. - 3582(c) is denied, because the plain wording of Amendment 591 to the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines applies only to the choice of the applicable offense guideline, not to the subsequent selection of the base offense level.
