United States v. Juan Pena-Anguiano

U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit
United States v. Juan Pena-Anguiano, 551 F. App'x 319 (9th Cir. 2013)

United States v. Juan Pena-Anguiano

Opinion

MEMORANDUM **

Juan Manuel Pena-Anguiano appeals pro se from the district court’s order denying his pro se motion for a sentence reduction under 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c). We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we affirm.

Pena-Anguiano contends that the district court erred by failing to grant his request for a sentence reduction, arguing that he should have received a Guidelines departure under U.S.S.G. § 5K3.1. The government contends that this appeal should be dismissed based on an appeal waiver. We decline to enforce the waiver and instead affirm on the merits. The district court did not err in denying Pena-Anguiano’s request for a sentence reduction because he failed to state a valid legal basis for reducing his sentence. See 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c).

AFFIRMED.
