UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 
SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK 
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, 
-against-
CHRIS RECAMIER, 
Defendant. 
21-cr-00746 (MKV)
ORDER 
MARY KAY VYSKOCIL, United States District Judge: 
On October 18, 2022, Chris Recamier (“Defendant”) was sentenced principally to a term 
of imprisonment of 108 months following his plea of guilty to charges relating to major fraud 
against the United States, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1031.  [ECF No. 81].  The Defendant’s 
sentencing guidelines range was 108 to 120 months’ imprisonment, based on an offense level of 
31 and a criminal history category of I.  The Bureau of Prisons currently projects that the Defendant 
will be released from prison on January 3, 2029. 
Effective November 1, 2023, in its Amendment 821, the United States Sentencing 
Commission (the “Sentencing Commission”) amended the United States Sentencing Guidelines in 
two respects.  Part A amends Guidelines § 4A1.1, by reducing from two (2) points to one (1) point 
the upward adjustment for offenders who committed the instant offense while under any criminal 
sentence, and by limiting this adjustment to defendants who received seven (7) or more criminal 
history points.  Part B, as relevant here, amends Guidelines § 4C1.1, by providing a 2-level offense 
level reduction for offenders with zero (0) criminal history points who meet specified eligibility 
criteria.  The Sentencing Commission made these amendments retroactive effective November 1, 
2023.  Defendants whose requests are granted by the courts can be released from prison no earlier 
than February 1, 2024.
