Brian Darnell Henderson appeals the district courts order denying his motions for a sentence reduction under Section 404 of the First Step Act of 2018, Pub. L. No. 115-391, 132 Stat. 5194. The district court determined that he was not eligible for a reduction based on First Step Act § 404(c), because he was resentenced in 2014, well after the effective date of the Fair Sentencing Act and in accordance therewith.
*
We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the district court. See United States v. Henderson, No. 5:07-00023-KDB-DCK-2 (W.D.N.C. May 18, 2020). 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 the decisional process.
AFFIRMED
FOOTNOTES
FOOTNOTE
. On appeal, Henderson argues that he was not resentenced in accordance with the Fair Sentencing Act because it was not retroactive until the First Step Act. However, he was resentenced after the Supreme Court decided Dorsey v. United States, 567 U.S. 260, 281, 132 S.Ct. 2321, 183 L.Ed.2d 250 (2012), concluding the Fair Sentencing Act applied to “post-Act sentencing of pre-Act offenders.” He also argues the statutory range for his drug conspiracy conviction (Count 1) should have been lower under the Fair Sentencing Act based on the jurys drug quantity finding for cocaine base. However, that range remained the same due to the jurys finding for powder cocaine. Moreover, although his statutory range on the substantive drug count (Count 3) was lower under the Fair Sentencing Act, his Guidelines range and sentence on the drugs counts at his resentencing were both below the statutory maximum of 20 years under 21 U.S.C. § 841(b)(1)(C). Thus, his sentence was previously imposed or reduced in accordance with the Fair Sentencing Act within the meaning of First Step Act § 401(c).
