Ramon F. Flores v. United States
In a sentence reduction application matter pursuant to 1 8
U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2) under Amendment 782,to the Sentencing
Guidelines, if a defendant objects to the drug quantity finding
made at sentencing but does not pursue this issue on direct
appeal because the reasonable outcome of a drug quantity appeal,
even if successful in reducing defendant's determined quantity,
would not likely affect defendant's Guideline range - is that
defendant later procedurally barred from appealing the District
Court's original drug quantity determination repeated in the
Denial of Defendant's Sentence Reduction motion when the
reasonable outcome of a drug quantity appeal, if successful
in reducing defendant's determined drug quantity, would now
likely affect the defendant's Guideline range?
Whether a defendant is procedurally barred from appealing the district court's original drug quantity determination in a sentence reduction application under 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2) when the reasonable outcome of a successful drug quantity appeal would now likely affect the defendant's guideline range
