# 									Assistant Secretary Mallory Stewart’s Meeting with the People’s Republic of China’s (PRC) Ministry of Foreign Affairs Director-General of Arms Control Sun Xiaobo							

Media Note

Office of the Spokesperson

November 7, 2023

Assistant Secretary of State for the Bureau of Arms Control, Verification and Compliance (AVC) Mallory Stewart met with PRC Ministry of Foreign Affairs Director-General of Arms Control Sun Xiaobo on November 6 in Washington, D.C. The U.S. delegation included senior officials from the Departments of State, Defense, and Energy, and the National Security Council. The two sides held a candid and in-depth discussion on issues related to arms control and nonproliferation as part of ongoing efforts to maintain open lines of communication and responsibly manage the U.S.-PRC relationship.

The United States emphasized the importance of increased PRC nuclear transparency and substantive engagement on practical measures to manage and reduce strategic risks across multiple domains, including nuclear and outer space. The United States highlighted the need to promote stability, help avert an unconstrained arms race, and manage competition so that it does not veer into conflict.

This constructive meeting followed recent high-level engagements, including between Secretary Blinken and National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan with PRC Director of the CCP Central Foreign Affairs Commission and Foreign Minister Wang Yi in Washington, among other recent bilateral engagements.

#### UNITED STATES of America, Plaintiff—Appellee, v. Kimberly Nichol EDWARDS, Defendant—Appellant.

No. 01-50503.

D.C. No. CR-95-00072-5-IEG.

United States Court of Appeals, Ninth Circuit.

Submitted June 10, 2002.*

Decided June 17, 2002.

Before RYMER, T.G. NELSON, and THOMAS, Circuit Judges.

*

 This panel unanimously finds this case suitable for decision without oral argument. *See*Fed. R.App. P. 34(a)(2).

MEMORANDUM**

Kimberly Nichol Edwards, a federal prisoner, appeals pro se the district court’s denial of her 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2) motion for reduction of her 138-month sentence for aiding and abetting interference with commerce by robbery, in violation of 18 U.S.C. §§ 1951(a) and 2, and aiding and abetting use and carrying of a firearm during the commission of a crime of violence, in violation of 18 U.S.C. §§ 924(c) and 2. We have jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1291.1 We review for abuse of discretion, *United States v. Townsend,*98 *900F.3d 510, 512 (9th Cir.1996) (per curiam), and we affirm.

Edwards contends that Amendment 591 to the United States Sentencing Guidelines entitles her to a sentence reduction, because her sentence was enhanced based upon uncharged conduct. However, Amendment 591 by its terms does not affect the court’s ability to apply sentence enhancements based on uncharged relevant conduct; it only affects the selection of base offense level guidelines. *See*U.S.S.G. Amendment 591 (2000). Edwards does not contend that her base offense level was incorrect. Accordingly, the district court properly denied her motion. *See Townsend,*98 F.3d at 513.2

AFFIRMED.

**

 This disposition is not appropriate for publication and may not be cited to or by the courts of this circuit except as may be provided by Ninth Circuit Rule 36-3.

. We reject the government’s contention that Edwards’ Notice of Appeal was untimely. *See Houston v. Lack,*487 U.S. 266, 276, 108 S.Ct. 2379, 101 L.Ed.2d 245 (1988) (ruling that a notice of appeal is deemed filed at the time prisoner delivers it to prison authorities for mailing). We also reject the government's contention that this court does not have jurisdiction to hear the appeal. *See United States v. Lowe,*136 F.3d 1231 (9th Cir.1998) (making a distinction between appeals that raise a legal question and those questioning the district court’s exercise of discretion).

PER CURIAM:

Pinmon Larry Tyler appeals the district court’s order dismissing Tyler’s 42 U.S.C.A. § 1983 (West Supp. 1998) action. We have

reviewed the record and the district court’s opinion and find no

reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the

district court. See Tyler v. North Carolina Dep’t of Corrections,

No. CA-98-687-5-BR (E.D.N.C. Nov. 16, 1998). We also deny Tyler’s

motion to amend. We dispense with oral argument because the facts

and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials

before the court and argument would not aid the decisional process.

AFFIRMED

#### IVEY v. THE STATE.

Jordan, Judge.

The defendant was tried and convicted of the offense of receiving stolen goods. His amended motion for new trial, in which he assigned error on the refusal of the trial court to continue the case on timely motion, was denied; and the exception is to that judgment. *Held:*

Where one charged with crime learned for the first time upon the call of the case that he was to be tried upon a special presentment of the grand jury, of which he had no prior knowledge, and not upon the indictment under which he had been arrested and made bond and to which he had announced his plea of mot guilty in a previous appearance in court, and where these facts were made to appear to the court without contradiction, and it further appeared that defendant’s counsel *647stated to the court that he had prepared his defense and was ready to go to trial on the original indictment but was not prepared to go to trial on the special presentment of which he had no prior knowledge, it was error, “which abridged the substantial benefits of the constitutional right of representation by counsel,” for the trial court to refuse to continue the case or postpone it so as to allow counsel a reasonable time for preparation of the case to be tried. *Yates v. State,*17 Ga. App. 347 (86 SE 783).

HomeOffice of the SpokespersonPress Releases...Apparent Massacre in Tadamon 

# 									Apparent Massacre in Tadamon 							

Press Statement

Ned Price, Department Spokesperson

April 29, 2022

We strongly condemn the atrocities depicted in a recently released video, which appears to show blindfolded, unarmed civilians being shot point-blank by an Assad regime official before falling into a mass grave in Tadamon, Syria, during a 2013 massacre that reportedly killed hundreds of Syrian civilians. The video, which suggests additional evidence of war crimes committed by the Assad regime, is yet another harrowing example of the horrors that the Syrian people have endured for more than a decade.

The State Department commends and continues to support the brave individuals who work to bring Assad and his regime to justice, often at the risk of their own lives.  This includes the vital work of Syrian civil society organizations to document violations of the law of armed conflict as well as human rights abuses and violations and their efforts to advance transitional justice.  The United States government remains firmly committed to securing accountability for the atrocities the Assad regime continues to inflict upon Syrians.  Accountability and justice for the crimes, violations, and abuses committed against Syrians are essential to a stable, just, and enduring peace in Syria and the region.

MEMORANDUM OPINION AND ORDER 

On July 22, 2020, this Court denied Percy Barron’s motion for compassionate 

release because Mr. Barron failed to exhaust his administrative remedies and “while Mr. Barron 

has already served a lengthy term of twenty-six years imprisonment, his original sentence was 

substantially longer, at 210 years imprisonment.” Memorandum Opinion and Order [Dkt. 

No. 547] at 3. The Court further noted it was inclined “to recommend to the BOP that Mr. 

Barron be transferred to FMC Lexington because of his underlying medical conditions which 

make him more susceptible to COVID-19.” Id. The Court ordered that “Mr. Barron and his 

counsel review the current state of infections at USP McCreary and surrounding Federal Medical 

Centers and advise the Court via supplemental filing whether Mr. Barron still requests a 

recommendation for transfer and to which medical center.” Id. at 4. 

On July 31, 2020, counsel for Mr. Barron filed a supplement stating that “Mr. 

Barron and counsel have discussed the matter and the state of infections at respective medical 

centers” and “Mr. Barron has indicated he would like to be transferred to Springfield MCFP in 

Springfield, Missouri.” Supplement [Dkt. No. 549] at 1-2. For the foregoing reasons, it is 

hereby

RECOMMENDED to the Bureau of Prisons that Mr. Barron be transferred to 

Springfield MCFP in Springfield, Missouri. 

SO ORDERED.

HomeOffice of the SpokespersonPress Releases...Actions to Impose Additional Visa Restrictions in Response to Anti-Democratic Actions in Guatemala

# 									Actions to Impose Additional Visa Restrictions in Response to Anti-Democratic Actions in Guatemala							

Press Statement

Matthew Miller, Department Spokesperson

October 31, 2023

The United States rejects the continued efforts to undermine Guatemala’s peaceful transition of power to President-elect Arévalo.  Most recently, the Guatemalan Public Ministry seized electoral materials under the custody of the Supreme Electoral Tribunal (TSE), called for the forced removal of peaceful protestors, pressed for the removal of the Minister of Governance who protected the right to peaceful protest, and sought to lift the immunity of a member of Congress who publicly expressed concern about these anti-democratic measures.

These acts followed earlier attempts to strip TSE officials’ immunity in addition to raids on their offices and the storage facilities that house elections results records.  Such anti-democratic behavior undermines Guatemala’s democratic institutions and is inconsistent with the principles of the Inter-American Democratic Charter.  We join other regional and international institutions, including the OAS and the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights, in calling for a transfer of power that respects popular will and adheres to the rule of law in Guatemala.

The United States stands with those seeking to safeguard democracy and rule of law in Guatemala.  Under Section 212(a)(3)(C) of the Immigration and Nationality Act, we are imposing visa restrictions on over a dozen individuals, and their immediate family members, for undermining democracy and the rule of law.  These individuals include Public Ministry officials and other public and private sector actors engaging in undermining democracy or the rule of law in Guatemala.  The Guatemalan people have spoken.  Their voices must be respected.
