CR-05-509-PHX-DGC

ORDER

On September 15, 2006, Defendant was sentenced to 37 months’ imprisonment for

involuntary manslaughter. Doc. 41. During a routine review of its docket, the Court found

an unresolved motion filed by Defendant on January 22, 2007. Doc. 51. Defendant requests

that her sentence be modified to home confinement under Rule 35(b) of the Federal Rules

of Criminal Procedure on the ground that she needs surgery and treatment for her

degenerative disc disease which cannot be provided by the prison health system. Id. 

Rule 35(b) grants the Court discretion to reduce a sentence, but only where the

government files a motion seeking a reduction on the basis of substantial assistance by the

defendant in investigating or prosecuting another person. The government has filed no such

motion in this case.
