WILLIAM B. SHUBB, District Judge.
Defendant, RICHARD RAMIREZ, JR., 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 June 27, 2008, this Court sentenced Mr. Ramirez to a term of 72 months on Count 2 and 60 months on Count 4 (violations of 21 U.S.C. § 841(a)(1)), to be served concurrently, and 60 months on Count 5 (a violation of 18 U.S.C. § 924(c)(1)), to be served consecutively, for a total term of 132 months imprisonment;
3. His total offense level was 13, his criminal history category was III, and the resulting guideline range was 18 to 24 months. On Counts 2 and 4, he received a sentence above the high-end of the applicable range;
4. The sentencing range applicable to Mr. Ramirez 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. Ramirez' total offense level has been reduced from 13 to 11, and his amended guideline range is 12 to 18 months;
6. Accordingly, the parties request the Court enter the order lodged herewith reducing Mr. Ramirez' term of imprisonment to 48 months on Count 2 and 40 months on Count 4, to be served concurrently, and 60 months on Count 5, to be served consecutively, for a total term of 108 months. The parties agree that the requested sentence is fair and appropriate pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a).
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. Ramirez is entitled to the benefit Amendment 782, which reduces the total offense level from 13 to 11, resulting in an amended guideline range of 12 to 18 months. A sentence above the high end of the range, comparable to the one received initially, is fair and reasonable pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a).
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the term of imprisonment imposed in June 2008 is reduced to a term of 48 months on Count 2 and 40 months on Count 4, to be served concurrently, and 60 months on Count 5, to be served consecutively, for a total term of 108 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. Ramirez shall report to the United States Probation Office within seventy-two hours after his release.
