Rutherford v. United States

Proposition supported

When Congress declines to make a sentencing amendment retroactive, the resulting disparity cannot create an extraordinary and compelling reason for § 3582(c)(1)(A) eligibility.

Material limitation

The holding addresses eligibility from deliberate statutory nonretroactivity. Section 1B1.13(c)'s use after an independently valid eligibility ground requires precise, current-law analysis.
