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. Quesada-Garcia is entitled to the benefit Amendment 782, which reduces the total offense level from 32 to 30, resulting in an amended guideline range of 120 to 121 months.
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the term of imprisonment imposed in June 2004 is reduced to a term of 120 months as to Counts 1 and 2, to run concurrently to each other, and 60 months as to Count 3, to run consecutively to the term on Counts 1 and 2, for a total term of 180 months imprisonment.
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 effective November 1, 2015, 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. Quesada-Garcia shall report to the United States Probation Office within seventy-two hours after his release.
