United States Sixth Circuit
US v. Bridgewater, 09-5303
District court's denial of defendant's motion for a sentence modification pursuant to 18 U.S.C. section 3582(c)(2) is affirmed as defendant is not eligible for a reduction based on Amendment 706 because the district court selected a sentence based on the career-offender Guideline, and Amendment 706 has no effect on the ultimate sentencing range imposed.
