United States Third Circuit

Motion for a reduced sentence pursuant to 18 U.S.C. section 3582(c)(2), after the US Sentencing Commission issued a retroactive amendment to the Sentencing Guidelines that lowered the base offense levels for crack cocaine offenses, the District Court's denial is affirmed where US v. Mateo, 560 F.3d 152 (3d Cir. 2009), forecloses defendant's challenge, even in light of Freeman v. US, 131 S. Ct. 2685 (2011).
