JASON93 / LEGAL TECHSearch the reference
ReferenceCurrent through August 26, 2026

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.

The initial motion is not filed in the court of appeals or, merely because the defendant is imprisoned there, in the district of confinement.

- **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.

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.
