UNITED STATES OF AMERICA PLAINTIFF v. AMANDA HOPKINS DEFENDANT
ORDER
Amanda Hopkins's pro se motion to reduce her sentence [Doc. No. 481] is denied because amendment 821 to the federal sentencing guidelines was applied when she was sentenced on November 15, 2023. Doc. No. 435. Additionally, Hopkins's plea agreement “waive[d] the right to have the sentence modified pursuant to Title 18, United States Code, Section 3582(c)(2)....” Doc. No. 396 at 3. Because Hopkins knowingly and voluntarily entered into her plea agreement, she is not entitled to relief. United States v. Cowan, 781 Fed.Appx. 571, 571-72 (8th Cir. 2019) (per curiam) (affirming dismissal of a section 3582(c)(2) motion when the record established that the defendant knowingly and voluntarily entered the plea agreement).
IT IS SO ORDERED.
