Order — United States v. Jackson (Dkt. 80, E.D.N.C.)

Summary

An order of Chief U.S. District Judge Richard E. Myers II in United States v. Anthony Jackson, Case No. 7:22-CR-00039-M, in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of North Carolina, filed August 29, 2025 as Document 80. It denies the defendant's motion to reconsider (DE 78) the court's earlier order of December 23, 2024, which granted his motion to reduce his sentence and reduced it from 84 to 80 months. The order applies United States v. Goodwyn, a 2010 Fourth Circuit decision holding that a prisoner dissatisfied with a § 3582(c)(2) ruling may appeal but may not ask the district court to reconsider it months later.

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
                   FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF NORTH CAROLINA
                                SOUTHERN DIVISION

                                   Case No. 7:22-CR-00039-M

  UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.

          Plaintiff,

  V.                                                                      ORDER

  ANTHONY JACKSON,

          Defendant.


       This matter comes before the court on the Defendant's motion to reconsider. DE 78. The

Defendant asks the court to reconsider its previous December 23, 2024, order, DE 74, granting the

Defendant's motion to reduce his sentence, DE 68, and reducing the Defendant's sentence from

84 to 80 months. However, the Fourth Circuit has ruled:

       When the Sentencing Commission reduces the Guidelines range applicable to a
       prisoner's sentence, the prisoner has an opportunity pursuant to § 3582(c)(2) to
       persuade the district court to modify his sentence. If the result does not satisfy him,
       he may timely appeal it. But he may not, almost eight months later, ask the district
       court to reconsider its decision.
United States v. Goodwyn, 596 F.3d 233,236 (4th Cir. 2010). This court is bound by Goodwyn

and, thus, the Defendant's motion is DENIED.
