# United States v. Domenech

## Holdings used

- The § 404 benchmark uses only Fair Sentencing Act changes; the court then may consider intervening information, must reason through nonfrivolous arguments, and must explain the decision adequately for review.

## Material limitation

Binding only in the Sixth Circuit and only for the bounded procedural postures in the linked claims. Official published opinion reviewed. Reassignment on remand was tied to repeated failures in that record, and no sentence reduction is required. A comprehensive commercial citator was not run.
