So many more federal sentence reductions using § 3582(c)(1)(A) to report before week concludes
Readers may recall this post from mid May listing more than two dozen grants of sentence reductions under § 3582(c)(1)(A) in one week showing up on Westlaw, and this latest posting reporting on grants from the first week on June showing comparable activity with sentence reduction grants. As the long listing below highlights, the sentence reduction hits just keep on coming; I felt compelled to compile these grants before the week is out because there are already so many (and included below are few stragglers from last week that only recently appeared on Westlaw):

As I have mentioned before, late week rulings often do not appear on Westlaw right away, so there are likely to be additional grants from this week that will appear on Westlaw later. And, of course, these Westlaw listings do not represent all sentence reductions being granted by federal courts these days; I have noted data in a Marshall Project article leading me to think Westlaw picks up at most half of all federal sentence reduction grants. Indeed, I recently heard from a good authority that there were an average of more than 50 of these grants per week for the month of May. So, even with this long list of 25 new sentence reduction grants from Westlaw, this list still likely represents only about 50% of the true total.
