United States v. Fields

WOLLMAN, Circuit Judge.

Terrance Fields appeals from his 188-month sentence for being a felon in possession of a firearm in violation of 18 U.S.C. §§ 922(g)(1) and 924(e). Fields asserts that the district court 1 erred by not com pelling the government to file a motion for downward departure based upon substantial assistance under 18 U.S.C. § 3553(e) and United States Sentencing Guidelines (U.S.S.G.) § 5K1.1. In the alternative, Fields argues that the district court abused its discretion by not considering his assistance under the factors outlined in 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a). We affirm.
