United States Seventh Circuit
U.S. v. Smith, 05-1638
Denial of a motion for resentencing is vacated and remanded with instructions to dismiss for lack of subject matter jurisdiction after a determination that statutory limits on the substantive authority of district court judges in sentencing modifications rendered the motion outside the court's jurisdiction.
