How later courts describe this case

  • 5K1.1 motion grants government authority to file motion, but gives no control over extent of departure
  • the language of 5K1.1 "improved upon the language of 18 U.S.C. § 3553(e), because the Guidelines set forth examples of circumstances that should be considered in deciding whether sentence reduction is appropriate.”
