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. Nguyen is entitled to the benefit Amendment 782, which reduces the total offense level from 29 to 27, resulting in an amended guideline range of 78 to 97 months.
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the term of imprisonment imposed in March 2011 is reduced to a term of 78 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. Nguyen shall report to the United States Probation Office within seventy-two hours after his release.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
