United States Seventh Circuit

Denial of defendants' motions for a sentence reduction pursuant to 18 U.S.C. section 3582(c)(2) based on the retroactive crack-cocaine amendments to the Sentencing Guidelines is affirmed where the district court was well within its discretion in finding each defendant responsible for distributing over 4.5 kilograms of crack cocaine, making them ineligible for a sentence reduction under the amended Guidelines.
