Question Presented (from Petition)
The question for review is whether, under 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a) and the Sentencing Reform Act of 1984, Congress intended that reasons in the first instance, and most be before any such courts, can appropriate relief by ad omits.
The question presented for review is whether the lower court erred by a state left based on its assessment of the § 3553 factors without reaching a determination on the existence of extraordinary circumstances under § 3553(c).
Question Presented (AI Summary)
Whether Congress intended a sentencing reduction under the First Step Act of 2018 to apply retroactively to defendants sentenced before the Act's enactment, and how that determination should be made by district courts
