Case Note: District court factually erred in finding that defendant's applicable guideline range at the initial sentencing was 240-life when in fact it was 240 months flat as a result of the then-applicable mandatory minimum ...
In U.S. v. Gonzalez, No. 22-50200, 2023 WL 3092295 (9th Cir. Apr. 26, 2023) (unpublished) (per curium), the court court vacated the district court's order denying defendant's motion for compassionate release based on a no-retroactive Guidelines amendment, and remanded for further proceedings because district court factually erred in finding that defendant's applicable guideline range at the initial sentencing was 240-life when in fact it was 240 months flat as a result of the then-applicable mandatory minimum, explaining: "Jose Gonzalez appeals pro se from the district court's order denying his motion for compassionate release pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(1)(A). We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we vacate and remand. The district court correctly acknowledged that it could consider the First Step Act's non-retroactive changes to the applicable mandatory minimum in assessing whether to grant compassionate release. See United States v. Chen, 48 F.4th 1092, 1098 (9th Cir. 2022). However, it determined that those changes did not constitute extraordinary and compelling circumstances in this case because Gonzalez's Guidelines range at sentencing was “240 months to life,” and it would resentence him “within the Guideline range of no fewer than 240 months.” The government has acknowledged that the district court's conclusion was based on incorrect determinations of fact as to the Guidelines range that applied at Gonzalez's initial sentencing and the range that would apply if Gonzalez were sentenced today. See United States v. Aruda, 993 F.3d 797, 799 (9th Cir. 2021) (district court abuses its discretion if it relies on clearly erroneous material facts to deny compassionate release). The record shows that the Guidelines range at sentencing was 240 months—not 240 months to life—solely because of the then-applicable mandatory minimum. See U.S.S.G § 5G1.1(b). We, therefore, vacate the district court's order denying Gonzalez's motion and remand for the district court to reconsider whether the First Step Act's reduction in the applicable mandatory minimum, along with other intervening changes in sentencing law, support Gonzalez's request for compassionate release. See Chen, 48 F.4th at 1101.”
