Text: 5 The district court found that Bogle was eligible for a § 3582(c)(2) reduction and granted Bogle’s motion. In recounting Bogle’s original sentencing, the district court noted that Bogle’s original 294-month sentence “was at the mid-range of the guidelines.” The district court acknowledged Bogle’s response, which asked that Bogle “receive the reduction the probation office recommended plus a reasonable sentence as enumerated in the 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a)(2) factors.” The court also pointed out that the government did not oppose a reduction to a total sentence of 296 months, which included a 236 month sentence on the crack cocaine offenses and a 60-month consecutive sentence on the firearm offense. The district court concluded that it was not authorized to impose a sentence below the amended guidelines range and that Booker does not apply to § 3582(c)(2) proceedings. The district court found that Bogle’s amended offense level of 36 and criminal history category of II resulted in an amended guidelines range of 210 to 262 months as to the crack cocaine offenses. The district court further found that “a reduction to 236 months is appropriate as to counts one and two since Bogle was sentenced originally at the middle of the guidelines.” The district court imposed a total 296-month sentence, 236 months as to the crack cocaine offenses and 60 consecutive months as to the firearms offense. Bogle filed this appeal.
