Matched Legal Cases: ['§ 3582', '§ 3582', '§1', '§1', '§1', '§ 3553', '§ 3582', '§1', '§ 3582', '§1']

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff,v.JEFFREY SMITH, Defendant.
This matter comes before the court on the defendant’s motion to reduce sentence (docket no. 59). The defendant filed such motion on February 23, 2015.
Regarding a reduction in sentence pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2), the court held a hearing on April 14, 2015. Consistent with the findings that the court made during the hearing concerning Amendment 782 (subject to subsection (e)(1)), the court concludes that a reduction under 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2) and USSG §1B1.10 is justified. See United States v. Curry, 584 F.3d 1102, 1104 (8th Cir. 2009) (discussing United States v. Wyatt, 115 F.3d 606, 608-09 (8th Cir. 1997)) (explaining requirements under USSG §1B1.10(b)). Having reviewed the defendant’s file, the provisions and commentary of USSG §1B1.10, the factors set forth in 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a), the nature and seriousness of the danger to any person or community that may be posed by a reduction in the defendant’s term of imprisonment and the defendant’s post-sentencing conduct, the court deems it appropriate to exercise its discretion and grant the defendant the maximum reduction permitted under 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2) and USSG §1B1.10.[1] The defendant’s previously imposed 135 month term of imprisonment, as reflected in the judgment dated March 18, 2011, is reduced to 110 months imprisonment. The defendant’s new sentence of 110 months imprisonment applies to count 2 of the indictment. Except as provided above, all provisions of the judgment dated March 18, 2011 remain in effect. The duration and conditions of the defendant’s supervised release remain unchanged. This order will take effect on November 2, 2015.
Because a reduction under 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2) and USSG §1B1.10 is appropriate, the defendant’s motion to reduce sentence (docket no. 59) is granted. The clerk’s office is directed to send and fax or email a copy of this order to the Federal Bureau of Prisons, that is, the place where the defendant, USM No. 11319-029, is currently incarcerated. The clerk’s office is also directed to send a copy of this order to the defendant, appointed counsel, ...
