WILLIAM H. STEELE, District Judge.
This matter comes before the Court on defendant's pro se filing styled "Motion for Reconsideration of Sentence" (doc. 2228). In that Motion, defendant George Allums, Jr., argues that this Court should revisit the question of whether he should have received the three-level enhancement for role in the offense that Judge Vollmer applied at the original sentencing proceeding conducted on August 19, 1998. To support this claim, Allums relies on a pair of recent unpublished appellate decisions, to-wit: United States v. Cisneros, 2011 WL 1743944 (11
The fundamental problem with Allums' Motion is that, as this Court has explained to him previously, "[t]he authority of a district court to modify an imprisonment sentence is narrowly limited by statute." United States v. Phillips, 597 F.3d 1190, 1194-95 (11
Although Allums does not identify the statute or rule that he contends authorizes this Court to reduce his sentence, the only conceivable provision that he could be invoking is 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2). But this statute is quite limited, and applies only in certain narrowly circumscribed situations. See, e.g., Dillon v. United States, ___ U.S. ___, 130 S.Ct. 2683, 2691, 177 L.Ed.2d 271 (2010) ("Section 3582(c)(2)'s text, together with its narrow scope, shows that Congress intended to authorize only a limited adjustment to an otherwise final sentence and not a plenary resentencing proceeding."); United States v. Melvin, 556 F.3d 1190, 1193 (11
Allums' present Motion plainly does not fit within the narrow parameters of § 3582(c)(2). He makes no argument that the guidelines range pursuant to which he was sentenced has subsequently been lowered by the Sentencing Commission. For example, he does not predicate his Motion on the recent Amendment 750, which has been given retroactive effect to reduce the base offense level associated with certain crack cocaine offenses. Nor would Allums be eligible for relief under Amendment 750 in any event, inasmuch as his Guidelines range was computed pursuant to a drug quantity finding of powder cocaine, not crack cocaine. Simply put, there is no evidence, no indication, and no reason to believe that any aspect of Allums' sentencing range has subsequently been lowered, much less that applicable policy statements issued by the Sentencing Commission would allow for retroactive application of the reduction. Rather, Allums is attempting to gain a resentencing proceeding based on what he perceives to be evolving jurisprudence for sentencing enhancements for role in the offense pursuant to U.S.S.G. § 3B1.1(b), as well as his own post-sentencing rehabilitation (including Allums' representation that he has been a "model prisoner" for the last 14 years).
For all of these reasons, the "Motion for Reconsideration of Sentence" (doc. 2228) is
