Description
Appellant Jesus Alberto Pelaez appeals the district courts denial of his motion under 18 U.S.C. Γ§ 3582(c)(2) to modify his sentence. The sole issue on appeal is whether the district court should have reduced his sentence by applying the "safety valve" provision of 18 U.S.C. Γ§ 3553(f). We hold the district court was correct in determining as a matter of law that Γ§ 3553(f) cannot be applied to Appellants sentence because the final judgment of the district court was entered before the effective date of the provision.
