Case Note: If you want the court to consider a sentence reduction to one other than time served, don't just put it in a footnote...
In U.S. v. NANCY JEAN SIEGEL, a/k/a Nancy Jean Sweitzer, No. 21-6426, 2022 WL 612357, (4th Cir. Mar. 2, 2022) (unpublished) (per curium) the court found that a footnote stating the court can reduce the sentence to one other than time served does not preserve an argument that the court failed to consider a sentence other than time served, explaining: "Siegel first argues that the district court failed to consider her request for a sentence reduction less than time served and failed to explain its reason for denying the request. However, Siegel's motion for compassionate release did not request a sentence reduction for less than time served. In her motion, Siegel included a footnote referencing that courts have the power to reduce a sentence to something more than time served. However, she did not directly ask the court for any reduction beyond time served. This is highlighted by her arguments that she could not remain imprisoned due to her poor and deteriorating health. As this argument was not raised in the district court, the issue is not properly before this court. See Pornomo v. United States, 814 F.3d 681, 686 (4th Cir. 2016) (explaining that this court generally declines to consider issues raised for first time on appeal).”
