Question Presented (from Petition)

Whether the District Court Committed substantive error when failed to impose a sentence that was sufficient but not greater than necessary to comply with the statutory directive set forth in 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a).

II. Whether there is frivolous issue with regard to Mr. Hernandez sentence. A review the district court's decision whether to reduce a sentence under §3582(c)(2).

Ill. The disparities of sentence between Mr. Hernandez and his Co-defendants

IV. The District Court abused its discretion in reducing Appellant's sentence to 292 months rather than 188 months pursuant to motion for Reduction of Sentence under 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c) where:

Appellant is qualified for such a reduction pursuant to Amendment 782788; the District Court violated the provision of § 3553(a) by imposing a sentence longer than necessary and creating unwarranted sentence disparities among the defendants with similar record who have been found guilty of similar conduct; and

Appellant's sentence of 292 months is both procedurally erroneous and substantively unreasonable. (in alternative the court should had reduced the sentence a list to 188 months regarding the mandatory minimum)
