USA v. Timothy Kurzynowski
20-3491
Appeal from the United States District Court for the Southern District of Indiana, Indianapolis Division. Judge Jane Magnus-Stinson.
Criminal. Affirms the denial of Timothy Kurzynowski’s motion for compassionate release from his 96-month sentence for conviction for distribution of child pornography pursuant to § 603 of the First Step Act of 2018, 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(1)(A)(i).
