Upon consideration of Defendant, Tyron L. Chambers’, Motion for Sentence

Reduction, it appears to the Court that:

1. Defendant Tyron L. Chambers filed the instant Motion for Sentence

Reduction on June 16, 2026. Defendant asks this Court to modify his sentence

based on the following factors: rehabilitative efforts; program and education

advancements; employment availability; and stable living environment. In

this motion Defendant seeks to reduce his Level V time from 2 years to 18

months.

2. On March 16, 2026, Defendant pled guilty to Possession of Ammunition by a

Person Prohibited. As part of the plea, the parties recommended 2 years at

Level V, which the Court accepted.

1 3. On March 16, 2026, this Court sentenced Chambers to 2 years at Level V

followed by decreasing levels of probation.

4. Under Superior Court Criminal Rule 35(b), “[t]he court may reduce a sentence

of imprisonment on a motion made within 90 days after the sentence is

imposed.” 1 If the motion is filed later than 90 days after imposition of the 0F

sentence, the Court will only consider the motion “in extraordinary

circumstances.” 2 The Court may consider a sentence reduction motion 1F

“without presentation, hearing, or argument.” 3 2F

5. Defendant’s sentence was imposed on March 16, 2026, and Defendant filed

the instant Motion on June 16, 2026. Therefore, Defendant complies with the

90-day filing period required by Rule 35(b).

6. After careful review of Defendant’s Motion, the entire record of the case, and

all sentencing information provided, including the parties joint

recommendation of 2 years at Level V at the time of sentencing, the Court

remains convinced that the sentence imposed was appropriate under the

circumstances and should not be modified.
