ORDER DENYING DEFENDANT'S MOTION FOR SENTENCING RELIEF (DOC. 58)
GEORGE CARAM STEEH, District Judge.
Defendant Emmanuel Gyamfi was found guilty of importing a controlled substance in violation of 21 U.S.C. §§ 952(a) and 960(b)(3) and possession with intent to distribute in violation of 21 U.S.C. §§ 841(a)(1) and 841(b)(1)(C). (Doc. 35 at PageID 657). Gyamfi was sentenced to 72 months imprisonment. (Doc. 35 at PageID 658).
Gyamfi filed a motion for sentencing relief under 18 U.S.C. § 3624. (Doc. 58). Gyamfi cites subsection (g), which calls for early release of certain non-violent offenders if they are at least 45 years old, committed no violent offenses, and received no institutional disciplinary violations. (Doc. 58 at PageID 780-81). Gyamfi relies on language of a proposed amendment to 18 U.S.C. § 3624. The language in subsection (g) appears in various Congressional bills, see e.g. H.R. 64, 115th Cong. (2017), none of which were ever signed into law.
Gyamfi's claims are not supported by law. As such, his motion is DENIED.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
