ORDER

ESTHER SALAS, Magistrate Judge

AGREED ORDER REDUCING SENTENCE

The Court considers this case pursuant to its authority under 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2) and Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 43(b)(4). The U.S. Sentencing Commission has reduced guideline offense levels for cocaine base cases, and has made the reductions retroactive to previously-sentenced defendants. The parties agree that a sentencing reduction is appropriate in this case. The Court concurs, and hereby ORDERS as follows:

(1) The total offense level in this case is reduced from 31 to 29;

(2) Defendant's sentence is reduced from 110 months to 89 months;

(3) This new sentence represents a reduction from the bottom of the range comparable to the reduction from the bottom of the original guidelines range;

(4) All other terms and provisions of the original judgment remain in effect. A copy of this agreed order shall be transmitted to the Bureau of Prisons immediately.

The defendant agrees to the reduction of sentence to 89 months and waives the need for any Court appearance.
