Case Note: Court remands denial of compassionate relief application because district court's failure to analyze § 3553(a) factors makes meaningful review impossible...
In U.S. v. MONTE JANWATANAGOOL, Defendant-Appellant, 2021 WL 2351107 (11th Cir. June 9, 2021) (unpublished) (per curium), the Eleventh Circuit found that district court's failure to consider any of the 3553(a) factors is cause to vacate the denial and remand, explaining, "We recently held that, in addition to determining whether a movant has offered extraordinary and compelling reasons and whether a reduction or release would be consistent with the policy statement in § 1B1.13, a district court must also consider “all applicable” 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a) factors when it grants or denies a motion for compassionate release. United States v. Cook, No. 20-13293, slip op. at 5–6 (11th Cir. May 27, 2021). A district court is not required to articulate its findings and reasonings in great detail, but, when we consider a § 3582(c)(1)(A)(i) motion, we “cannot engage in meaningful appellate review and must vacate and remand” if the record does not reflect that the district court considered the applicable factors. Id. at 9. Because the district court's order did not reflect that it considered any of the applicable § 3553(a) factors in denying Janwatanagool's motion for compassionate release, the record was not adequate to allow for meaningful appellate review. Accordingly, we vacate the order denying the motion and remand this matter for further proceedings consistent with this opinion.”
