The following excerpt is from United States v. Prada, 20-1862-cr (2nd Cir. 2021):

We review the denial of a motion for a discretionary sentence reduction for abuse of discretion. United States v. Holloway, 956 F.3d 660, 664 (2d Cir. 2020). A district court abuses its discretion when its ruling "rests on an error of law, a clearly erroneous finding of fact, or otherwise cannot be located within the range of permissible decisions." United States v. Parnell, 959 F.3d 537, 539 (2d Cir. 2020) (internal quotation marks and citation omitted).
