United States Fourth Circuit

In prosecutions for distribution and possession with intent to distribute cocaine base and money laundering, denial of defendants' motions for reductions of sentence is reversed and remanded where: 1) defendants agreed to plead guilty if the district court would sentence them to a guidelines term of imprisonment of 168 months, and the district court did so; and 2) defendants did not agree that they would not seek relief under section 3582(c)(2) in the event the Sentencing Commission retroactively amended a relevant guideline.
