Annotate this CaseThe Eighth Circuit affirmed the district court's grant of defendant's motion for modification of his sentence under the First Step Act and imposition of a reduced term of imprisonment. Defendant argues that the district court should have reduced his sentence to time served. The court concluded that the district court did not abuse its discretion in assessing the appropriate reduction where it considered the 18 U.S.C. 3553(a) sentencing factors and explained that a sentence reduction to 454 months satisfied the purposes of sentencing.
