# United States v. Saladino

## Holdings used

- Section 3582(c)(1)(A)'s defendant-filing prerequisite is a nonjurisdictional claim-processing rule that the government may waive or forfeit.

## Material limitation

Binding only in the Second Circuit and only for the bounded procedural postures in the linked claims. Published precedential full opinion reviewed from Justia's public full-text republication after no stable historical official opinion file was located. The panel did not resolve the 30-day-route split; the concurrence is not treated as a panel holding. A comprehensive commercial citator was not run.
