How courts have described this case

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

• noting that defendant could not show that government’s reason for refusing to depart lacked a rational basis because gov- ernment gets to decide “whether ‘substantial assistance’ has been rendered” (emphasis added)
• affirming the grant of a motion to withdraw a Rule 35(b) motion where the motion had been filed to avoid the one-year deadline, but the government later determined that the defendant’s cooperation had not been substantial assistance
