United States v. Travis Young

UNPUBLISHED UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT No. 20-6045 UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff - Appellee, v. TRAVIS YOUNG, Defendant - Appellant. Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of South Carolina, at Columbia. Margaret B. Seymour, Senior District Judge. (3:07-cr-00671-MBS-1) Submitted: July 30, 2020 Decided: August 4, 2020 Before WILKINSON and THACKER, Circuit Judges, and TRAXLER, Senior Circuit Judge. Vacated and remanded by unpublished per curiam opinion. Travis Young, Appellant Pro Se. Jane Barrett Taylor, Assistant United States Attorney, OFFICE OF THE UNITED STATES ATTORNEY, Columbia, South Carolina, for Appellee. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. PER CURIAM: Travis Young appeals the district court’s order denying his 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(1)(B) (2018) motion seeking relief under Section 404 of the First Step Act of 2018, Pub. L. No. 115-391, 132 Stat. 5194. In its brief order, the district court appears to have determined that Young—who is serving a revocation sentence originating from a 2007 conviction for possession with intent to distribute 50 grams or more of cocaine base— is ineligible for relief. Based on our review of the record, we conclude that Young is, in fact, eligible for a sentence reduction. See United States v. Venable, 943 F.3d 187, 194 (4th Cir. 2019). Accordingly, we vacate the district court’s order and remand for consideration of Young’s motion on the merits. * We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before this court and argument would not aid the decisional process. VACATED AND REMANDED * By this disposition, we express no view on Young’s entitlement to relief. 2
