Opinion
Case No. 12-10140-02-JTM
03-15-2016
United States of America, Plaintiff, v. Diego Beltran Vega, Defendant.
MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
This matter is before the court on the defendant's Motion for Sentence Relief (Dkt. 321), premised on the Non-Violent Offenders Relief Act of 2003, H.R. 3575. This Act, however, was not passed into law, and the court accordingly denies the requested modification of the defendant's release date. See United States v. Lara-Nausa, 2011 WL 2610559, *1 (S.D.N.Y. June 21, 2011) (because H.R. 3575 "is not a validly enacted federal law, but a bill on which neither house of the U.S. Congress voted ... the Court lacks authority to grant the motion").
IT IS SO ORDERED this 15th day of March, 2016.
