Whether district courts can reduce a defendant's sentence based on the reason that the defendant is serving a sentence for an offense for which the penalty was later reduced for newly sentenced defendants, where the district court finds the defendant's particular circumstances render this circumstance extraordinary and compelling and the 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a) factors weigh in favor of such a reduction

QUESTION PRESENTED 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(1)(A)(i) allows district courts to reduce a defendant’s sentence, based on a finding of extraordinary and compelling reasons, after considering 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a) factors. Did Congress intend to allow district courts to grant such reduction, based on the reason that a defendant is serving a sentence for an offense, for which the penalty later was reduced for newly sentenced defendants, where a district court reasonably finds a defendant’s particular circumstances render this circumstance extraordinary and compelling, and 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a) factors weigh in favor of such a reduction? i
