OPINION AND ORDER
MYRON H. THOMPSON, District Judge.
Amendment 782 to the 2014 edition of the Sentencing Guidelines revised the guidelines applicable to drug-trafficking offenses. Following the United States Sentencing Commission's decision to give retroactive effect to the amendment, this court established a Retroactivity Screening Panel to determine whether a defendant might be eligible for a reduction of sentence.
Upon consideration of the recommendation of the Retroactivity Screening Panel entered today, and after an independent and de novo review of the record, it is ORDERED that defendant Nathaniel Salery's motion for a reduction of sentence pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2) (doc. no. 2109) is denied. Defendant Salery is ineligible for a sentence reduction because he received a statutory mandatory minimum sentence of life in prison. Additionally, the motion is now moot as his sentence was commuted to 360 months by President Barack Obama, and he has now completed his sentence.
