United States v. Andre Holland
Opinion
MEMORANDUM **
The district court did not err in denying Holland’s request to apply the “safety valve” in 18 U.S.C. § 3553(f) on a motion for reduction of sentence under 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2), because modification of a sentence under § 3582(c)(2) “does not amount to a new sentencing for purposes of the safety valve statute.” United States v. Stockdale, 129 F.3d 1066, 1068 (9th Cir. 1997). Moreover, Sentencing Commission policy statements prevent use of § 3553(f) in § 3582(c) proceedings. See U.S.S.G. §§ lB1.10(a)(3), 1B1.10(b)(1). “[CJonsis-tency with the policy statements is a mandatory condition” under § 3582(c)(2). United States v. Sipai, 582 F.3d 994, 995 (9th Cir. 2009).
AFFIRMED.
This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3.
