STIPULATED MOTION AND ORDER TO REDUCE SENTENCE PURSUANT TO 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2) RETROACTIVE DRUGS-MINUS-TWO REDUCTION CASE

MORRISON C. ENGLAND, Jr., Chief District Judge.

Defendant, CARLOS SANCHEZ CENDEJAS by and through his attorney, Assistant Federal Defender David M. Porter, and plaintiff, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, by and through its counsel, Assistant U.S. Attorney Jason Hitt, hereby stipulate as follows:

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 August 3, 2006, this Court sentenced Mr. Cendejas to a term of 144 months imprisonment;

3. His total offense level was 31, his criminal history category was V, and the resulting guideline range was 168 to 210 months; however, he received a downward variance due to his age and prior head trauma;

4. The sentencing range applicable to Mr. Cendjeas was subsequently lowered by the United States Sentencing Commission in Amendment 782, made retroactive on July 18, 2014, see 79 Fed. Reg. 44,973;

5. Mr. Cendejas's total offense level has been reduced from 31 to 29, and his amended guideline range is 140 to 175 months; and,

6. Accordingly, the parties request the Court enter the order lodged herewith reducing Mr. Cendejas's term of imprisonment to a term of 140 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. Cendejas is entitled to the benefit Amendment 782, which reduces the total offense level from 31 to 29, resulting in an amended guideline range of 140 to 175 months.

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the term of imprisonment imposed in August 2006 is reduced to a term of 140 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. Cendejas shall report to the United States Probation Office within seventy-two hours after his release.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
