United States Ninth Circuit
US v. Lightfoot, 09-30063
In defendant's appeal from a denial of his motion to reduce his drug and firearm sentence, the order is affirmed where the district court had every reason to be concerned that defendant's prior behavior would become renascent upon his release from prison, and the court did not abuse its discretion when it refused to expedite imposition of defendant upon society by reducing his earlier sentence.
