United States v. Rucker, No. 04-20150-JWL, 2021 WL 4061615, at *1 (D. Kan. Sept. 7, 2021)
Reducing sentence for defendant with a 2041 release date to time-served for a combination of reasons: a newly diagnosed serious cardiac condition with poor stats for 5-year survival, 924(c) unstacking, recent cooperation, and COVID risk. Also a post-vaccination COVID grant (although the vaccination status is only mentioned in the motions). Notably, this case is a lesson in persistence. The counsel or record filed, lost, appealed, won post-Maumau, got an expert, re-filed in the district court, briefed it all some more, and voila—the client is home)
