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 July 22, 2013, this Court sentenced Mr. Liang to a term of 180 months imprisonment on each of Counts 1 and 2 in 2:06-cr-390 and 180 months as to each of Counts 1 and 2 in case 2:06-cr-337, all to be served concurrently to each other for a total term of 180 months;

3. His total offense level was 35, his criminal history category was II, and the resulting guideline range was 188 to 235 months. He received a sentence below the low-end of the range on the defendant's motion;

4. The sentencing range applicable to Mr. Liang 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. Liang's total offense level has been reduced from 35 to 33, and his amended guideline range is 151 to 188 months;

6. Accordingly, the parties request the Court enter the order lodged herewith reducing Mr. Liang's term of imprisonment on each of Counts 1 and 2 on both of the above-encaptioned cases to a term of 151 months, to be served concurrently to each other for a total term of 151 months.

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. Liang is entitled to the benefit Amendment 782, which reduces the total offense level from 35 to 33, resulting in an amended guideline range of 151 to 181 months.

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the term of imprisonment imposed in July 2013 for each of Counts 1 and 2 in 2:06-cr-390 and each of Counts 1 and 2 in case 2:06-cr-337, be reduced to a term of 151 months, to be served concurrently to each other for a total term of 151 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. Liang shall report to the United States Probation Office within seventy-two hours after his release.
