What is the test for a motion to reduce a defendant's sentence pursuant to section 3582(c)(1)(A) of the Criminal Code?

MultiRegion, United States of America

The following excerpt is from United States v. Salazar, 20-30197 (9th Cir. 2021):

Defendant-Appellant Andrew Salazar asks that we vacate and remand for further consideration the district court's denial of his motion for a reduction in sentence pursuant to 18 U.S.C. 3582(c)(1)(A), otherwise known as "compassionate release." Salazar argues that the district court abused its discretion by denying the motion by utilizing what appears to be a form with boxes and blanks to be filled in. We review the denial of 3582(c)(1)(A) sentence reduction for abuse of discretion, United States v. Aruda, 993 F.3d 797, 799 (9th Cir. 2021), and affirm.
