Question Presented (from Petition)
Whether the fact that a prisoner is serving a sentence that is significantly longer than the law would now permit, in light of the First Step Act's nonretroactive changes to 18 U.S.C. § 924(c), may contribute to a finding that "extraordinary and compelling reasons" warrant a reduction under 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(1)(A)(i).
