`UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
`
`SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA
`
`UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
`
`v.
`
`DYWANE TOUSANT,
`
`Plaintiff,
`
`Defendant.
`
`
`
` Case No.: 09-CR-1250 W
`
`ORDER DENYING MOTION TO
`REDUCE SENTENCE UNDER 18
`U.S.C. § 3582(c)(1)(A) [DOC. 306]
`
`
`On June 2, 2010, this Court sentenced Defendant Dywane Tousant to the
`
`mandatory minimum term of 120 months in prison for Sex Trafficking of Children in
`
`violation of 18 U.S.C. §§ 1591(a)(b) & 2, fifteen months concurrent with his state court
`
`sentence in case SCS 2255068 and 105 months consecutive [Doc. 126].
`
`Defendant now moves for a reduction in sentence pursuant to 18 U.S.C. §
`
`3582(c)(1)(A), alleging that the length of his sentence should be considered an
`
`extraordinary and compelling reason for sentence reduction based upon United States
`
`Sentencing Guideline §1B1.13(b)(6). This section states that “unusually long sentences
`
`qualify as an extraordinary and compelling reason for reduction of sentence.”

`Case 3:09-cr-01250-W Document 310 Filed 12/12/24 PageID.2046 Page 2 of 2
`
`
`
`To qualify for relief pursuant to that Guideline section, a defendant “must have
`
`served at least 10 years of his term.” Defendant combines his state prison term served
`
`with his federal term served and states he has served over 16 years in custody. The
`
`Federal Sentencing Guidelines apply to his federal case not his state case. Defendant has
`
`not served “at least 10 years” of his federal sentence, therefore, he is not eligible for relief
`
`under the Federal Guidelines.
`
`Defendant’s motion for reduction of sentence is DENIED.
`
`
`
`IT IS SO ORDERED.
