UNITED STATES OF AMERICA v. GARY ZIERKE
4:08-CR-3067
IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF NEBRASKA
May 19, 2025
4:08-cr-03067-JMG Doc # 455 Filed: 05/19/25 Page 1 of 2 - Page ID # 2278
ORDER
The defendant has filed to reduce his sentence based on purported amendments to the United States Sentencing Guidelines. Filing 454. Specifically, he asserts that on May 5 the Sentencing Commission “voted and approved that no longer can State and Federal Prior Sentence or Conviction be used to calculate an inmate‘s sentence.” Filing 454 at 1. Effectively, the defendant claims that criminal history should no longer be considered by sentencing courts. See id.
No such proposed amendment exists. See Notice of Submission to Congress of Amendments to the Sentencing Guidelines Effective November 1, 2025, and Request for Comment, 90 Fed. Reg. 19798 (May 9, 2025). Nor, had such an amendment been proposed, would it have taken effect. See
Dated this 19th day of May, 2025.
BY THE COURT:
John M. Gerrard
Senior United States District Judge
