Michael Dewayne Hegwood v. United States
1. Does the First Step Act authorize a court to "impose" a reduced
sentence in accordance with such statutes as 18 U.S.C. §§ 3553(a) and
3582(a), or does it only authorize a court to "modify" a sentence under
18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)?
II. Does the First Step Act authorize a court to "impose" a reduced
sentence using current binding case law that applies to the Act's
change in the sentencing calculations, or does it require a court to
"modify" the sentence by applying only the Act's change in the
sentencing calculations while ignoring binding case law that applies
to the change?
