Heading: Reduction under Amendment 750

Text: On January 11, 2012, the district court sua sponte issued an order notifying Cook and the government that it believed Cook was eligible for a reduced sentence pursuant to Amendment 750 to the Guidelines, and that it intended to reduce Cook’s term of imprisonment from 168 months to 135 months. The district court stated that, under Amendment 750, Cook’s total offense level should be reduced from 33 to 31, which would drop the low end of Cook’s advisory Guidelines range from 168 months to 135 months. The court ordered the government to respond. The government responded on February 13, 2012, stating that it agreed that Cook’s total offense level is 31 under Amendment 750 but that it would not take a position regarding the intended reduction. On February 20, 2012, the district court ordered that Cook’s sentence be reduced to 135 months.
