US v. Williams, No. 08-3606

By FindLaw Staff on December 30, 2009 | Last updated on March 21, 2019

In defendant's appeal from the district court's order granting the government's motion for a 12-month sentence reduction, the appeal is dismissed for lack of jurisdiction where, absent an unconstitutional motive, the extent to which a district court exercises its discretionary authority to depart downward was not subject to review.
