UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff, v. LARRY DONNELL HINES, SR., Defendant.
MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
This matter is before the Court on the Defendant's Unopposed Motion for Compassionate Release Pursuant to the First Step Act (Dkt. 72) filed on June 16, 2020. The government does not oppose Defendant's request for compassionate release.
Considering all the facts of the case - defendant's advanced age, his chronic health conditions, and his completion of nine of his twelve months sentence - the court agrees that this is a truly extraordinary request for compassionate release, and concurs that compelling circumstances warrant reduction of the current sentence of imprisonment to time served. The applicable factors set forth in 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(1)(A)(i) and 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a) support this relief.
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED this day of June, 2020, that the Unopposed Motion for Compassionate Release (Dkt. 72) is granted, and the court reduces Defendant's sentence to time served.

Honorable J. Thomas Marten
