Snell-Quick v. United States
MEQUETTA SNELL-QUICK, Petitioner,
Before the court is Mequetta Snell-Quick's pro se motion for relief under 28 U.S.C. § 2255. Doc. 1.[1]
On April 6, 2015, Snell-Quick pleaded guilty under a plea agreement to one count of conspiring to defraud the United States with respect to claims, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 286, and aggravated identity theft, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1028A(a)(1). Snell-Quick's convictions stemmed from her participation in a far-ranging scheme to obtain tax refunds by filing fraudulent tax returns using stolen identities. Her plea agreement contained a provision by which she waived her right to appeal or collaterally attack her conviction and sentence, with exceptions for claims of ineffective assistance of counsel and prosecutorial misconduct. Doc. 3-2 at 6-7. Following a sentencing hearing on August 7, 2015, the district court sentenced Snell-Quick to 24 months and one day in prison, consisting of one day on the conspiracy count and 24 months on the identity theft count, the terms to run consecutively. Doc. 1-1 at 2. Snell-Quick did not appeal.
On August 9, 2106, Snell-Quick filed this § 2255 motion asserting that she should receive a “minor role” reduction to her sentence based on Amendment 794 to § 3B1.2 of the Sentencing Guidelines. For the reasons that follow, the Magistrate Judge recommends that Snell-Quick's § 2255 motion be denied without an evidentiary hearing and that this case be dismissed with prejudice.
Snell-Quick maintains she should receive a retroactive minor role reduction to her sentence based on the November 1, 2015 amendment (Amendment 794) to U.S.S.G. § 3B1.2. Doc. 1 at 4 & 12.
