Scope & methodology
How the reference is built, what it covers, and how to use it well.
What it covers
The federal criminal process, from investigation and charging through trial, sentencing, appeal, post-conviction remedies, custody and supervised release. Circuit notes record where a circuit departs from or adds to the nationwide rules. The court directory links each district court to its official local rules.
How statements are sourced
Each legal statement is a separate record tied to the statutes, rules or decisions that support it, and links to that authority. Each authority record shows its citation, issuing body, weight and official source.
Currency
The reference is current through August 26, 2026. Each topic and authority shows two dates. Legal review is the date its statements were last checked against the sources, including later history and treatment where recorded. Links checked is the date an automated check last confirmed that each recorded source is available: it opened when requested, or, for sites that refuse automated requests, it was confirmed another way on or after that date: through CourtListener’s own API for CourtListener opinions, or by hand in a browser, with the document heading matched to the record; it does not show that the law is unchanged, and it never moves the legal review date. Laws, rules and local practice change; confirm the current text of any rule before relying on it, and check local rules and standing orders for the court involved.
Not legal advice
This is general legal information. It does not create an attorney-client relationship, and it cannot account for the facts of a particular case. For advice about a specific case, consult a licensed attorney.
Open research questions
The items below are questions the research has not yet resolved, such as a circuit that has not addressed an issue or a local rule whose text has not been reviewed. They are listed so they can be checked and closed.

A § 3582 motion is ordinarily filed in the federal district court that imposed the sentence, under the existing criminal case number. It is not filed as a new civil action. The initial motion is not filed in the court of appeals or, merely because the defendant is imprisoned there, in the district of confinement.

Courts disagree about how closely the grounds in the court motion must match the grounds presented to the warden. The Fourth Circuit has held that § 3582 does not impose issue exhaustion. Other courts use narrower approaches. Every intended ground should therefore be included in the warden request, and controlling circuit law should be checked before a materially new ground is added in court.

Do not assume that futility, emergency, or imminent danger automatically excuses the warden-request requirement. A court may enforce the rule if the government timely invokes it. Government waiver or forfeiture is different from a judicially created exception.

6. **Appeal** — ordinary criminal-appeal timeline, 14 days under FRAP 4(b); abuse-of-discretion review, with the added *Concepcion* procedural requirement that the district court's order reflect consideration of any nonfrivolous arguments the parties raised (a court's silent failure to address such an argument is itself a recognized basis for remand).

- **No dedicated national AO form** (unlike AO 250 for compassionate release or AO 243 for §2255). §404 motions are typically counsel-drafted, and in the years immediately following enactment many districts issued standing administrative orders appointing the Federal Public Defender or CJA panel to screen the district's docket for eligible defendants and file on their behalf as a matter of course, rather than waiting for individual pro se filings.

- **Government's dual role:** because "the attorney for the Government" is itself a listed movant under §404(b), a meaningful share of §404 practice, particularly in the years right after enactment, proceeded through negotiated or unopposed motions rather than adversarial litigation — worth accounting for in any workflow that assumes an automatically adversarial government response.

- **Burden:** the movant bears the burden of establishing covered-offense eligibility under §404(a). Once eligibility is established, there is no formal burden-shifting framework for the *Concepcion* discretionary analysis — the court exercises independent sentencing discretion, informed by whatever arguments the parties raise, with the affirmative obligation to address nonfrivolous ones.

- **Terry left open, and lower courts have continued to litigate, edge cases at the margins of "covered offense"** — for example, multi-count judgments where some counts are covered and others are not, and how a court should treat the overall sentencing package (including any career-offender-driven Guidelines calculation) when only one count is technically a covered offense. Treat this as a genuinely fact-specific determination rather than a simple binary lookup.

If a direct appeal is filed and the court of appeals affirms, the conviction becomes final for § 2255 purposes when the time expires to file a certiorari petition. Supreme Court Rule 13 generally gives 90 days to file certiorari from the appellate judgment, and if timely rehearing is filed, the 90 days runs from denial of rehearing or later judgment.
