KIMBERLY J. MUELLER, District Judge.
Defendant Eduardo Nunez Pichardo, appearing pro se, moves the court for early termination of his supervised released. Mot., ECF No. 101 (citing 18 U.S.C. § 3583(e)(1)
On January 23, 2007, Pichardo pled guilty to three charges: Conspiring to distribute cocaine and methamphetamine, 21 U.S.C. §§ 846 and 841(a)(1); laundering monetary instruments, 18 U.S.C. § 1956(a)(1)(B)(i); and structuring transactions to evade reporting requirements, 31 U.S.C. § 5324(a)(3). Plea, ECF No. 70. He was sentenced on March 25, 2008 to 120 months in prison followed by 120 months of supervised release. Sentencing Mins, ECF No. 90. His prison term was later reduced to 72 months; his supervisory release term remained unchanged. Judgment Order Oct. 14, 2010, ECF No. 100. Pichardo's supervision began on September 9, 2011. Mot. at 1 ¶ 2. The case was reassigned to the undersigned on February 23, 2017. Reassignment, ECF No. 103. Now, with just over four years remaining, Pichardo asks the court to terminate the remainder of his term of supervision.
"[A] district court enjoys significant discretion in crafting terms of supervised release for criminal defendants." United States v. Weber, 451 F.3d 557, 558 (2006) (citations omitted). "Consistent with a district court's broad discretion in imposing terms of supervised release, the language of §3583(e) gives district courts broad discretion in determining whether to grant a motion to terminate supervised release." United States v. Emmett, 749 F.3d 817, 819 (9th Cir. 2014) (citations omitted). But the court's discretion is not limitless: The court must consider relevant factors set forth in 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a) and explain its sentencing decision. United States v. Carty, 520 F.3d 984, 991-93 (9th Cir. 2008) (en banc). The court need not scrutinize each 3553(a) factor and the process need not be mechanical. See 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2) (court "may reduce the term of imprisonment . . ., after considering the factors set forth in section 3553(a) to the extent that they are applicable"); United States v. Trujillo, 713 F.3d 1003, 1009 (9th Cir. 2013). Relevant factors include the nature and circumstances of the conviction, the defendant's characteristics and behavior, deterrence, public safety, avoiding sentencing disparity, and obtaining restitution for victims. See 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a)(1)-(2), (a)(5)-(7).
Here, the relevant § 3553(a) factors weigh in favor of early termination. Pichardo did not commit violent crimes and there is no indication he poses a public safety threat. He has served more than half of his supervision term and, as he argues and as evidenced by the absence of revocation petitions on the court's docket, remained cooperative and law abiding throughout. See Mot. at 3, 6. He has only one criminal history point, placing him in the category of offenders who have among the lowest risk of recidivism, which in turn mitigates deterrence concerns. Id. at 4 ¶ 12 (citing statistics from Recidivism and the "First Offender"; A component of the Fifteen Year Report on the U.S. Sentencing Commission's Legislative Mandate at 13-14, (May 2004),
IT IS SO ORDERED.
This resolves ECF No. 101.
