Question Presented (from Petition)

1. Petitioner is deprived of Due Process of Law Contrary to Law in violation of the Fifth Amendment and Section 404 of the First Step Act.

2. Because the issues pending before the Eighth Circuit has been ripe for ruling for over 8 months mandamus is warranted to provide fairness in administration and to eliminate unjustifiable delay.

3. The Eighth Circuit's order is strictly to delay adjudication thereby blocking Appellate Review therefore mandamus is necessary for this Court to utilize the jurisdiction of review given to it by law.

Question Presented (AI Summary)

Whether petitioner is entitled to a reduced sentence under Section 404 of the First Step Act
