United States Third Circuit

Sentence for drug crimes is affirmed where the district court did not err in denying defendant's motion for a reduction below his amended Guidelines range sentence as the court's decision in Booker does not apply to the size of a sentence reduction that may be granted under 18 U.S.C. sec. 3582(c)(2).
