United States v. Reed

Holdings used

  • No reduction is mandatory merely because the existing sentence exceeds the revised statutory maximum; the record must show consideration of every nonfrivolous argument, and ambiguity can require remand.

Reed expressly recognizes that Concepcion displaced Collington's mandatory-reduction rule; no reduction is guaranteed. A comprehensive commercial citator was not run.
