Bell v. U.S.

1 Citing case

  1. U.S. v. Williams

    11 C 607 (N.D. Ill. Apr. 25, 2011)

    The FSA, enacted on August 3, 2010, "amended the Controlled Substances Act and Controlled Substances Import and Export Act by resetting the drug quantities required to trigger mandatory minimum sentences." U.S. v. Bell, 624 F.3d 803, 814 (7th Cir. 2010), cert. denied, No. 10-9409, 2011 WL 845911 (U.S. Apr. 18, 2011). As the Seventh Circuit has made clear, the FSA is not retroactive, and "applies only to defendants who are sentenced based on conduct that took place after August 3, 2010."
