United States Ninth Circuit

In a challenge to the length of the district court’s Rule 35(b) reduction of defendant's sentence, judgment is affirmed because the court applied the proper standard where it correctly considered factors other than assistance, including those listed in 18 U.S.C. section 3553(a), once it determined that a defendant has provided substantial assistance to the government.
