Upon motion of

the court under 18 U.S.C.

Court's show cause order issued on June 25, 2026 (Doc. 2300). No party or victim filed any objections. Therefore, it is
ORDERED that tthe motions to seal the original filings (Docs. 2223, 2294) are GRANTED. The original motions (Docs. 2224
and 2295) shall remain under seal and for the purpose of public access, Doc. 2303 shall be the open filing. Additionally, all the
motions for reduction in sentence (Docs. 2224, 2295, and 2303) are all GRANTED. The Court reduces the term of
imprisonment to one hundred fifty (150) months.

Except as otherwise provided, all provisions of the judgment dated
