Terry Wayne Cope v. United States
A. Does the precedent that "a defendant's incarceration during the COVID-19 Pandemic when the defendant has access to the COVID-19 vaccine does not present an extraordinary and compelling reason" walk a fine line that contravenes the will of Congress by impermissibly restraining the district courts and does contravene the traditional deference of public health policy?
B. Must the district Court address all grounds listed in 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a) on a motion to reduce sentence in anticipation of a sentence reduction when circumstances of conviction change?
Does the precedent that a defendant's incarceration during the COVID-19 Pandemic, when the defendant has access to the COVID-19 vaccine, does not present an 'extraordinary and compelling reason' warrant a compassionate release under 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(1)(A), contravene the will of Congress by impermissibly restraining the district courts and also contravene the traditional deference to public health emergencies
