United States v. Payton

Defendant/Appellant, Timiko Payton ("Payton") appeals the district courts denial of a Motion for Sentence Reduction pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2). Paytons Motion was based upon amendments to § 2D1.1(c) of the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines Manual ("the guidelines"). Because the district court determined that Paytons sentence was based upon U.S.S.G § 4B1.1, which applies to "career offenders," rather than § 2D1.1, the motion was denied.
