OPINION AND ORDER
MYRON H. THOMPSON, District Judge.
Amendment 782 to the 2014 edition of the Sentencing Guidelines revised the guidelines applicable to drug-trafficking offenses. Following the United States Sentencing Commission's decision to give retroactive effect to the amendment, this court established a Retroactivity Screening Panel to determine whether a defendant might be eligible for a reduction of sentence. Upon consideration of the recommendation of the Retroactivity Screening Panel entered February 4, 2016, and after an independent and de novo review of the record, it is ORDERED that defendant Ronricuez Bernard Payne's motion for sentence reduction (doc. no. 80) is denied, and that defendant Payne should not receive a reduction in sentence pursuant to Amendment 782. Because his sentence consists of the statutorily mandated minimum term of imprisonment on each count, 60 months plus 60 months consecutively, see Judgment (doc. 69), the court is not authorized to reduce his sentence further.
