   U.S. District Court for the District of North Dakota - Bismarck   
   [UNPUBLISHED] [Per Curiam - Before Loken, Murphy and Kelly, Circuit Judges 
   Criminal case - Sentencing. At the time the district court denied 
   Woodford's motion for an Amendment 782 sentence reduction without 
   determining how Amendment 782 would affect the guidelines range, the 
   district court did not have before it this court's decision in United 
   States v. Reyes, 2016 WL 4547352 (8th Cir. 2016), which sets out a 
   two-step process, the first of which requires the district court to 
   determine if a defendant is eligible for a reduction and the extent of the 
   reduction authorized under Section 3582; remanded for further proceedings. 
   Judge Loken, dissenting.

161755U.pdf   04/21/2017  Aura Chavez-Chavez  v.  Jefferson B. Sessions, III
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  16-1755
   Petition for Review of an Order of the Board of Immigration Appeals   
   [UNPUBLISHED] [Per Curiam - Before Smith, Chief Judge, and Arnold and 
   Shepherd, Circuit Judges] 
   Petition for Review - Immigration. Even if a single violent incident where 
   petitioner was stabbed over a debt amounted to persecution, substantial 
   evidence supported the BIA's conclusion that petitioner failed to 
   demonstrate her race or membership in a particular social group 
   (indigenous female Mayan Mam) was at least one central reason why she was 
   attacked; substantial evidence also supported the conclusion petitioner 
   had failed to demonstrate a well-founded fear of future persecution on 
   account of a protected ground, as the record showed any fear of future 
   persecution would not be objectively reasonable; no error in denying 
   asylum, withholding of removal or CAT relief.
