United States v. Garcia-Davila
Opinion
IN THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS
FOR THE FIFTH CIRCUIT
No. 02-10577 Summary Calendar
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
Plaintiff-Appellee,
versus
FRANCISCO JAVIER GARCIA-DAVILA,
Defendant-Appellant.
Appeal from the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas USDC No. 5:00-CR-27-1-C
October 8, 2002
Before HIGGINBOTHAM, SMITH, and CLEMENT, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Francisco Javier Garcia-Davila, federal prisoner # 34312-077,
appeals the district court’s denial of his
18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2)
motion for reduction of his sentence for illegal reentry into the
United States after deportation. He argues that Amendment 632 to
the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines should be applied retroactively to
reduce his offense level under U.S.S.G. § 2L1.2.
* Pursuant to 5TH CIR. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR. R. 47.5.4. For an amendment to the Sentencing Guidelines to be
retroactive pursuant to § 3582(c)(2), it must be listed in U.S.S.G.
§ 1B1.10(c).1 Assuming arguendo that Amendment 632 subsequently
lowered Appellant’s sentencing range, it is not listed in U.S.S.G.
§ 1B1.10(c) and therefore is nonretroactive.
AFFIRMED.
1 U.S. Sentencing Guidelines Manual § 1B1.10 cmt. n. 1 (2001) (“Eligibility for consideration under
18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2) is triggered only by an amendment listed in subsection (c) that lowers the applicable guideline range.”); United States v. Drath,
89 F.3d 216, 218(5th Cir. 1996).
