United States v. Monquay Williams

610 F. App'x 277

Opinion

Dismissed by unpublished PER CURIAM opinion.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

PER CURIAM:

Monquay Williams seeks to appeal the district court’s order granting the Government’s motion to reduce his sentence. Under 18 U.S.C. § 3742(a) (2012), we “lack jurisdiction to review the extent of the district court’s downward departure.” United States v. Hill, 70 F.3d 321, 324 (4th Cir.1995); see United States v. Davis, 679 F.3d 190, 193-94 (4th Cir.2012) (explaining that, although the court may entertain “challenges to the lawfulness of the method used by the district court in making its sentencing decision,” this court lacks “jurisdiction to review any part of a discretionary sentencing decision”). Because the sole issue raised on appeal attacks the extent of the reduction awarded by the district court, we dismiss this appeal for lack of jurisdiction. We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before this court and argument would not aid in the decisional process.

DISMISSED.
