In 2021, a judge reduces Flenory's sentence from 360 to 324 months under retroactive guideline amendments. In February 2024, a further reduction of approximately 32 months is granted based on Amendment 821 and evidence of rehabilitation.

During the pandemic, Flenory seeks a sentence reduction or release, citing his health problems and COVID risk. The court refuses, and the Court of Appeal upholds the decision. The record also mentions several earlier disciplinary violations in prison.
