UNITED STATES of America, v. Derek MERCHANT, Appellant, 538 F. App'x 236

JUDGMENT ORDER PER CURIAM. It appearing that Appellant argues that the Fair Sentencing Act of 2010, Pub.L. No. 111-220, 124 Stat. 2372 (2010) (“FSA”), applies fully and retroactively to defendants who, like him, were sentenced before its effective date; it further appearing that the FSA for cocaine base offenses became effective subsequent to the sentencing of Appellant for distribution and possession with intent to distribute more than 50 grams of cocaine; it further appearing that the mandatory minimum sentence requirements of the FSA do not apply to Appellant, see United States v.

Reevey, 631 F.3d 110, 111 (3d Cir.2010); and it further appearing that the order denying Appellant’s Motion to Reduce Sentence under 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2) was not in error; on consideration whereof, it is now hereby ADJUDGED and ORDERED that the judgment of the District Court for the Middle District of Pennsylvania as entered April 3, 2013 at D.C.Crim. No. l-07-cr-00419-001 be and is hereby AFFIRMED. Costs shall not be taxed in this matter.
