Court: 6th Circuit Court (Published Opinions)

Attorneys 1: ON BRIEF: Bradley Clark, SUHRE & ASSOCIATES, Lexington, Kentucky, for Appellant.

Attorneys 2: Brittany Dunn-Pirio, Charles P. Wisdom Jr., UNITED STATES ATTORNEY’S OFFICE, Lexington, Kentucky, for Appellee.

Judge(s): STRANCH, BUSH, and READLER, Circuit Judges

Court Appealed: United States District Court for the Eastern District of Kentucky at Lexington

READLER, Circuit Judge. Tawsif Mohammed Tajwar was sentenced to serve 90 months in prison due to his conviction for money laundering. Tajwar believed that later developments at the Sentencing Commission gave him a basis to request a retroactive sentence reduction, which he did. The district court denied his request, concluding that Tajwar’s possession of a firearm in connection with his money laundering offenses made him ineligible for relief. Seeing no error in the district court’s holding, we affirm.
