Opinion
Crim. No. 06-008 (JAF).
September 11, 2008
ORDER
Defendant's case and order on appeal involve the district court's denial of crack retroactivity benefits under 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2). No excusable neglect or meritorious issue on appeal has been presented to the court to prompt the validation of a late appeal.
We have reviewed the record again. Defendant's sentence is governed by a 120-month statutory mandatory minimum term of imprisonment for which the crack retroactivity amendments afford no relief.
The request for a late appeal is DENIED.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
