Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit March 21, 1983, 82-3262 (United States v. Joseph E. Krohn)

JOHNSON, Circuit Judge:

We are asked to decide as a general matter whether district courts retain jurisdiction over timely-filed motions for reduction of sentence for a reasonable time beyond a lapse of Rule 35’s 120-day period, and if so, whether the district court’s ten-month delay in rendition of the ruling before us was within the bounds of reasonableness.
