IFP petition · United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, No. 19-50354 · judgment January 29, 2021
Certiorari denied · October 4, 2021
Question presented
Whether differences in procedural opportunity arising from the fact that a defendant is statutorily eligible for relief under the First Step Act, such as the ability to offer evidence of postsentencing rehabilitation in support of a reduced sentence, create the sort of “unwarranted” sentence disparities that a district court must seek to avoid under 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a)(6).
