Court: 6th Circuit Court (Published Opinions)

Attorneys 1: ON BRIEF: Christian J. Grostic, OFFICE OF THE FEDERAL PUBLIC DEFENDER, Cleveland, Ohio, for Appellant.

Attorneys 2: ON BRIEF: Daniel R. Ranke, UNITED STATES ATTORNEY’S OFFICE, Cleveland, Ohio, for Appellee.

Judge(s): SILER, KETHLEDGE, and READLER, Circuit Judges

Court Appealed: United States District Court for the Northern District of Ohio at Cleveland

CHAD A. READLER, Circuit Judge. Brandon McKinnie appeals the denial of his motion seeking a sentence reduction under 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(1)(A). He believes that he presented numerous extraordinary and compelling reasons to support the reduction, including the Havis error in his original sentencing, none of which were accepted by the district court. We agree with the district court that McKinnie’s arguments lack merit and therefore affirm.
