Case Note: Reliance on U.S.S.G. § 1B1.13 (Policy Statement) requires remand...
In U.S. v. HEATHER CARR, Defendant - Appellant., 2021 WL 1400705 (10th Cir. Apr. 14, 2021) (McHugh, J.), the district court denied relief but the 10th Circuit vacated and remanded, explaining: "Heather Carr pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to defraud the federal government and is serving a 57-month sentence. After exhausting her administrative remedies with the Federal Bureau of Prisons (“BOP”), Ms. Carr, relying on procedures established by the First Step Act (“FSA”), filed a motion in the district court for sentence modification and compassionate release pursuant to 18U.S.C. §3582(c)(1)(A). Ms. Carr contended she satisfied the “extraordinary and compelling reasons” standard and was eligible for a sentence modification based on changes in her eldest daughter's ability to care for Ms. Carr's two minor children. The district court applied United States Sentencing Commission, Guidelines Manual § 1B1.13 (Nov. 2018), to define “extraordinary and compelling reasons” and concluded Ms. Carr was not eligible for relief. In our recent decisions in United States v. McGee, ___ F.3d ___, 2021 WL 1168980 (10th Cir. 2021), and United States v. Maumau, ___ F.3d ___, 2021 WL 1217855 (10th Cir. 2021), we held USSG § 1B1.13 is not presently an “applicable” policy statement that controls the definition of “extraordinary and compelling reasons” when a prisoner initiates a § 3582(c)(1)(A) proceeding. Accordingly, we vacate the district court's order denying relief, and we remand for reconsideration in light of McGee and Maumau.”
