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. Piedra is entitled to the benefit Amendment 782, which reduces the total offense level from 33 to 31, resulting in an amended guideline range of 121 to 151 months.

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the term of imprisonment imposed in April 2009 is reduced to a term of 121 months, effective as of November 1, 2015.

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. Piedra shall report to the United States Probation Office within seventy-two hours after his release.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
