ORDER PERTAINING TO MOTION TO REDUCE SENTENCE
Upon consideration of Defendant Modeste's Motion to Reduce Sentence (Docket
95), and the United States’ Partial Opposition to Motion to Reduce Sentence (Docket 96),
the Court hereby GRANTS the motion as follows: IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that
Defendant's Judgment entered July 24, 2013, at Docket 93, shall be amended to reflect
that she serve 79 months concurrent imprisonment on Counts 1 and 3. 	All other
provisions of that judgment shall remain in effect.
The reason for this reduction is as follows: the Court originally imposed a sentence
of 95 months imprisonment, which was a sentence in the middle of the then-applicable
guideline range of 84 to 105 months.1 For the reasons asserted by the Government in its
partial opposition, the Court finds that a sentence that is similarly in the middle of the
revised guideline range is warranted. 	The revised guideline range is 70 to 87 months,
and 79 months would be the comparable mid-range sentence under these revised
guidelines. Therefore, the Court finds that this 16-month sentence reduction is warranted
pursuant to Amendment 782.
1 See Docket 93 at 2.
