ORDER
This matter is before the Court on Defendant Tamarcus Markeith Thomas’ motion for a
reduction of sentence pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2) based on Amendment 706 to the United
States Sentencing Guidelines (Doc. 212).
Amendment 706 is one of several recent amendments to Section 2D1.1 of the Sentencing
Guidelines. 	Amendment 706, which was later amended and then made retroactive on May 1,
2008, had the effect of reducing the sentencing ranges for offenses involving particular quantities
of crack cocaine. 	See U.S. Sentencing Guidelines Manual app. C, amends. 706, 711 & 716
(2011). 	However, in 2010, the Sentencing Commission promulgated and then in 2011 made
retroactive a subsequent amendment that further reduced the guideline ranges for certain crack
cocaine offenses. 	See id. at amends. 748 & 750. 	On January 30, 2012, this Court granted
Defendant’s 	motion 	for 	relief 	pursuant 	to 	the 	later 	amendments. 	(Docs. 	208 	& 	210).
Accordingly, Defendant has already received the full benefit of any § 3582(c)(2) modification to
which he is entitled, and his motion for further modification is DENIED as MOOT.
DONE and ORDERED this the 23rd day of March 2012.
