ORDER
ROBERT J. CONRAD, Jr., District Judge.
THIS MATTER is before the Court upon motion of the defendant, pro se, requesting that the Court modify its sentence. (Doc. No. 31).
The defendant seeks a reduction in sentence based on obtaining his GED, completing drug treatment, and his readiness to enter society with a new crime and drug free approach. However, even such positive circumstances as cited by the defendant are not grounds for a sentence reduction by this Court, which has very limited authority to alter a sentence once it is imposed. 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c); Fed. R. Crim. P. 35.
IT IS, THEREFORE, ORDERED that the defendant's motion (Doc. No. 31) is DENIED.
The Clerk is directed to certify copies of this order to the defendant, counsel for the defendant, the United States Attorney, and the United States Marshals Service.
