The 3553(a) factors that a district court must consider in ruling on a defendants
3582(c)(2) motion to reduce his sentence include: (1) the nature and circumstances of the
offense and the history and characteristics of the defendant; (2) the need for the sentence
imposed to accomplish certain aims, such as reflect the seriousness of the offense, afford
adequate deterrence, and protect the public; (3) the kinds of sentences available; (4) the
applicable sentencing range under the guidelines; (5) any pertinent Sentencing Commission
policy statement; (6) the need to avoid unwarranted sentence disparities among defendants; and
(7) the need to provide restitution to victims. United States v. Vautier, 144 F.3d 756, 762 n.7
(11th Cir. 1998); 18 U.S.C. 3553(a).
