The United States Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit granted a defendant's unopposed motion to remand his case for resentencing. The court vacated the original sentence and directed the district court to conduct proceedings necessary to resentence the defendant in accordance with the motion filed in this court.
The appellant, Alery Al Reid, filed a Motion for Summary Disposition and Remand requesting that the court remand the matter to the district court for resentencing. The motion was unopposed by the government.
The court’s reasoning
Upon consideration and review of the record, the panel granted the motion. The court determined that oral argument would not materially assist in the determination of the appeal and submitted the case without oral argument.
What it means going forward
The defendant’s sentence is vacated, and the district court must resentence him in accordance with the motion filed in the Tenth Circuit.
