UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff, v. JUAN ANTONIO ZAVALA, Defendant.
MEMORANDUM DECISION AND ORDER
INTRODUCTION
Before the Court is Defendant Juan Antonio Zavala's Motion for Sentencing Reduction (Dkt. 1317). For the reasons explained below, the Court will deny the motion.
ANALYSIS
In February 2005, this Court sentenced Mr. Zavala to 360 months' imprisonment after a jury convicted him of was convicted of: (1) conspiring to distribute methamphetamine, cocaine and ecstasy; and (2) distributing 50 grams of more of methamphetamine.
Defendant asks this Court to reduce his sentence based on the First Step Act. As the government correctly explains in its response, however, the First Step Act does not apply here because the defendant was not sentenced for a crack cocaine offense. See Response, Dkt. 1320, at 2-3. The Court will therefore deny the motion.
ORDER
IT IS ORDERED that Defendant's Motion for Sentencing Reduction (Dkt. 1317) is DENIED.
DATED: January 4, 2021
