I need to know the name of a motion in criminal law?

My cousin's lawyer motion for a downward departure. They accepted in open court but the prosecuter changed quickly and they offered more years again. The judge has agreed to lower the years (my cousin already accepted the higher sentence) if we bring the transcripts but we have to file a motion. What motion would that be? Motion to revert to downward departure offer? Help please.I need to know the name of a motion in criminal law?Fortunately, the title to a motion is not legally determinative. Probably something like "Renewed Motion for Downward Departure" may work. Best to ask local counsel.I need to know the name of a motion in criminal law?You need a local lawyer to file a motion, but a Motion is nothing but a letter to the court. It's name serves the purpose of a reference line in a business letter. Customarily one says, "Now into Court comes,--- who suggests...." instead of Dear ___ .
