MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from United States v. Martinez, CR. NO. 2:09-224 WBS (E.D. Cal. 2016):
2011); see also United States v. Mullanix, 99 F.3d 323, 324 (9th Cir. 1996) (holding that "the mandatory minimum was not affected by the change in the [drug] equivalency tables" and, thus, "the district court had no authority to reduce [the defendant's] sentence under 3582(c)(2)"). Accordingly, because defendant does not qualify for a sentence reduction under 18 U.S.C. 3582(c)(2), the court must deny his motion.
