ORDER GRANTING MOTION TO EXTEND TIME TO FILE APPEAL
JOHN CORBETT O'MEARA, District Judge.
This matter came before the court on defendant Donnell Jackson's July 20, 2016 Amended Motion to Extend Time to File Notice of Appeal Due to Excusable Neglect. No response was filed, and no oral argument was heard.
This court appointed the Federal Defender Office to review defendant Jackson's eligibility for a sentence reduction under 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c), and Amendment 782 to the Sentencing Guidelines. On June 21, 2016, this court sua sponte granted Jackson a reduction in sentence from 216 months to 210 months.
Jackson's counsel has advised the court that Jackson seeks to file notice of appeal, claiming he is entitled to an additional reduction in his sentence. Jackson's counsel concedes she did not send a copy of the court's order to him in order to allow Jackson to file a timely appeal. Pursuant to Rule 4(b)(4) of the Federal Rules of Appellate Procedure, the court may extend the time to file notice of appeal based on excusable neglect. The government is not opposed to Jackson's request.
Therefore, it is hereby ORDERED that defendant Jackson's July 20, 2016 amended motion to extend time to file an appeal is GRANTED.
