MEMORANDUM OPINION AND ORDER
JANET T. NEFF, District Judge.
Defendant Amanda Jane Dordon has filed a motion for modification or reduction of sentence (Dkt 185) pursuant to 18 U.S.C. §3582(c)(2) based on the modification of the Drug Quantity Table with respect to cocaine base (crack cocaine). The U.S. Probation Department filed a Sentence Modification Report (Dkt 204) and defendant has filed a Response (Dkt 209).
Section 3582(c)(2) permits a court to reduce the term of imprisonment of a defendant who has been sentenced based on a sentencing range that has subsequently been lowered by the Sentencing Commission. 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2). Amendment 750 of the United States Sentencing Guidelines modified U.S.S.G. § 2D1.1, the Drug Quantity Table with regard to cocaine base (crack cocaine), and U.S.S.G. § 2D2.1(b). These modifications were made retroactive effective November 1, 2011. U.S.S.G. § 1B1.10(c).
However, the defendant is ineligible as her original sentence was below the minimum of the amended guideline range. U.S.S.G. § 1B1.10(b)(2)(A). A reduction of sentence is inconsistent with the policy statements of the U.S. Sentencing Commission.
Therefore, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Defendant's motion for modification of sentence (Dkt 185) pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2) is DENIED.
