UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 
EASTERN DISTRICT OF LOUISIANA 
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA * CRIMINAL NO. 23-0101
V. * SECTION: “L” (5)
MERVYN LUCAS * 
ORDER AND REASONS
Considering Defendant Mervyn Lucas's Motion for Sentence Modification, R. Doc. 63; 
IT IS ORDERED that the Motion is DENIED. Mr. Lucas was sentenced in on 
February 6, 2025, after the changes implemented by Amendment 821 to the United States 
Sentencing Guidelines went into effect. R. Doc. 59. Accordingly, Mr. Lucas's sentencing range 
was calculated with consideration to those changes and was not subsequently lowered by the 
Sentencing Commission via Amendment 821. Mr. Lucas is thus ineligible for a sentence 
reduction under 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2).
New Orleans, Louisiana, this 8th day of June, 2026. 
United States District Judge
