United States v. Emory Lee Tellis

How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• rejecting an argument that Circuit precedent had been undermined to the point of abrogation because the Court had already concluded otherwise
• explaining that because the defendant was a career offender, the guidelines amendment “did not lower his offense level ... and thus did not alter the guideline range” and so “the district court correctly concluded that it had no discretion to lower his sentence.”
• applying career offender guideline because it became higher than retroactively amended drug weight guideline
