UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,v.JULIAN MANNING
This criminal case is before the court on the defendant's pro se motion for sentence reduction [doc. 362], which has been rendered moot by the supplemental motion for sentence reduction filed by counsel [doc. 365]. Through counsel, the defendant requests that the court resentence him pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2) and in accordance with Amendments 782 and 788 to the United States Sentencing Guidelines Manual ("U.S.S.G."). The government has responded [doc. 366], deferring to the court's discretion whether and to what extent to grant any such reduction, subject to the limitations of 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2) and U.S.S.G. § 1B1.10.
By judgment dated April 25, 2014, this court sentenced the defendant to a term of imprisonment of 42 months as to Count One in this case (conspiracy to distribute and possess with the intent to distribute marijuana), to be served consecutively to the 12-month revocation sentence imposed in this court's case number 3:08-CR-056. The defendant's guideline range in the present case was 70 to 87 months (total offense level 25, criminal history category III), and the statute of conviction carried a mandatory minimum sentence of 60 months. Prior to sentencing, the United States filed a motion for downward departure pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3553(e) and U.S.S.G. § 5K1.1 [doc. 313] which the court granted in imposing the 42-month sentence, a reduction of 40 percent from the bottom of the guideline range. Additionally, the defendant filed a variance motion [doc. 344] which the court denied [doc. 346]. According to the Bureau of Prisons, the defendant is presently scheduled for release on January 11, 2016.
For the reasons stated herein, the defendant's pro se motion [doc. 362] is DENIED AS MOOT, and the defendant's motion filed through counsel [doc. 365] is GRANTED. The defendant's term of imprisonment in this case is reduced to 34 months, which is a corresponding 40 percent substantial assistance reduction from the bottom of his new guideline range. This sentence is to be served consecutively to the 12-month revocation sentence imposed in this court's case number 3:08-CR-056, for an aggregate sentence of 46 months. If that total sentence is less than the amount of time the defendant has already served, the total sentence shall instead be reduced to "time served." See id. § 1B1.10(b)(2)(C).
Except as provided above, all provisions of the judgment dated April 25, 2014, shall remain in effect. The effective date of this order is November 2, 2015. See id. § 1B1.10(e)(1).
