United States v. Roja, No. 10-14662 (11th Cir. 2011)
Annotate this CaseThe court sua sponte modified its previous opinion in this appeal to reflect recent developments in the law of the First and Seventh Circuits. At issue was whether the Fair Sentencing Act of 2010 (FSA), Pub. L. No. 111-120, 124 Stat. 2372, applied to defendants who committed crack cocaine offenses before August 3, 2010, the date of its enactment, but who were sentenced thereafter. The court held that the general savings clause could not bar application of the FSA to sentencing conducted after its August 3, 2010 enactment. Accordingly, the court remanded defendant's case to the district court for resentencing.
