United States v. Marlon Jones, Docket # 22-30480
Marlon Jones appeals the district court’s resentencing of Jones following its revocation of his supervised release. Jones argues that the district court incorrectly determined that it was required to classify Jones’s 2009 drug conviction as a Class A felony pursuant to the law as it stood at the time of his original conviction, rather than as a Class B felony pursuant to the law as it had changed under the retroactively applicable First Step Act of Because the Fifth Circuit held that the district court was not prohibited from considering changes in law made retroactively applicable by Congress under the First Step Act, it vacated Jones’s sentence and REMAND for resentencing.
