1. Pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2), this Court may reduce the term of imprisonment in the case of a defendant who has been sentenced to a term of imprisonment based on a sentencing range that has subsequently been lowered by the Sentencing Commission pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 994(o);

2. On May 16, 2013, this Court sentenced Mr. Chong to a term of 120 months imprisonment;

5. Mr. Chong's total offense level has been reduced from 32 to 30, and his amended guideline range is 97 to 121 months;

6. Accordingly, the parties request the Court enter the order lodged herewith reducing Mr. Chong's term of imprisonment to a term of 97 months.

ORDER

This matter came before the Court on the stipulated motion of the defendant for reduction of sentence pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2).

The parties agree, and the Court finds, that Mr. Chong is entitled to the benefit Amendment 782, which reduces the total offense level from 32 to 30, resulting in an amended guideline range of 97 to 121 months.

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the term of imprisonment imposed in May 2013 is reduced to a term of 97 months.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that all other terms and provisions of the original judgment

remain in effect. The clerk shall forthwith prepare an amended judgment reflecting the above reduction in sentence, and shall serve certified copies of the amended judgment on the United States Bureau of Prisons and the United States Probation Office. Unless otherwise ordered, Mr. Chong shall report to the United States Probation Office within seventy-two hours after his release.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
