US Sentencing Commission announces public meeting to vote on proposed guideline amendments

As detailed in this announcement, the US Sentencing Commission has scheduled "a public meeting ... for Friday, January 19, 2018, at 10:30 a.m." The announced agenda includes "Possible Vote to Publish Proposed Guideline Amendments and Issues for Comment."

As detailed in this prior post from mid 2017, the Commission did not to promulgate guideline amendments in the 2016-17 amendment cycle, but did articulate an ambitious set of proposed priorities for 2017-18 amendment cycle (and also release a set of proposed holdover amendments for comment).  So there certainly could be some significant federal sentencing guidelies news emerging from the Commission in a couple of weeks.  Stay tuned.
