Description
Appellant Jesus Alberto Pelaez appeals the district courts denial of his motion under 18 U.S.C. § 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. § 3553(f). We hold the district court was correct in determining as a matter of law that § 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.
