District of Columbia Court of Appeals
Rice v. United States
August 13, 2026
Summary
The court affirmed the Superior Court's decision granting Jeffrey Rice a fifteen-year IRAA sentence reduction but denying immediate release. It held that the court acted within its discretion by considering codefendant sentencing disparity as part of the individualized interests-of-justice analysis, and that any error in considering the sufficiency of Rice's punishment was harmless because other factors independently supported denying immediate release.
