What is the effect of a denial of a motion to reduce sentence under Rule 35?

A district court's denial of a motion to reduce sentence under FRCrimP 35 will not be disturbed on appeal absent a clear showing that the sentencing court abused its discretion. United States v. Ruffen, 780 F.2d 1493, 1495 (CA9), cert. denied, 479 U.S. 963 (1986). The record reflects that the district court provided Bagha with ample opportunity to express his remorse at sentencing, considered counsel's plea for leniency, and allowed the appellant to amend his presentence report. Bagha's confusingly worded arguments about the judge sending him a message at sentencing and the "dangerous yellow cake" do not state anything which could be construed as reversible error. The district court did not abuse its discretion by denying the Rule 35 motion.
