United States v. Gonzalez-Bautista
United States v. Gonzalez-Bautista
Opinion
IN THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FIFTH CIRCUIT
No. 02-50314 Summary Calendar
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
Plaintiff-Appellee,
versus
GUSTAVO GONZALEZ-BAUTISTA,
Defendant-Appellant.
-------------------- Appeal from the United States District Court for the Western District of Texas USDC No. EP-00-CR-318-ALL-H -------------------- October 28, 2002 Before BARKSDALE, DeMOSS, and BENAVIDES, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Gustavo Gonzalez-Bautista, federal prisoner number 15950-
051, appeals the denial of his motion for modification of
sentence pursuant to
18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2). He argues that
Amendment 632 is a clarification of U.S.S.G. § 2L1.2 and should
be applied retroactively. Amendments to the Guidelines may not
be applied retroactively upon a motion under
18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2) unless they are specifically set forth in U.S.S.G.
§ 1B1.10(c). U.S.S.G. § 1B1.10(a), p.s. (Nov. 2001). Amendment
* 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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR.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. No. 02-50314 -2-
632 is not listed in U.S.S.G. § 1B1.10(c) and therefore may not
be applied retroactively. See U.S.S.G. § 1B1.10(c), p.s. (Nov.
2001).
Gonzalez also contests his conviction. He alleges that he
is a United States citizen and, therefore, not properly the
subject of an illegal reentry conviction. Such a claim is not
cognizable in an
18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2) motion. The district
court did not abuse its discretion in denying Gonzalez’s motion.
AFFIRMED.
