Question Presented (OCR Extract)
QUESTION PRESENTED Whether a District Court adjudicating a motion for a reduced sentence under the First Step Act abuses its discretion when a defendant would have a significantly lower Guidelines range if he were sentenced at the time of the Section 404 motion than he did at the original sentencing, but the district court nonetheless denies a sentence reduction based solely on information that was already accounted for in the original sentence. ii LIST OF ALL DIRECTLY
