The following excerpt is from United States v. Kuzmenko, 20-10391 (9th Cir. 2021):
We review 3582(c)(1) sentence reduction decisions for abuse of discretion. United States v. Aruda, 993 F.3d 797, 799 (9th Cir. 2021). The district court abuses its discretion only if its decision is illogical, implausible, or without support in the record. United States v. Robertson, 895 F.3d 1206, 1213 (9th Cir. 2018).
