United States v. Quintin Stephen
United States v. Quintin Stephen
Opinion
MEMORANDUM **
Quintín Stephen appeals pro se from the district court’s order denying his motion for a sentence reduction under 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2). We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review de novo a *820 district court’s determination that a defendant is ineligible for a reduction under section 3582(c)(2), see United States v. Leniear, 574 F.3d 668, 672 (9th Cir. 2009), and we affirm.
Stephen contends that he is eligible for a sentence reduction under Amendment 750 to the Sentencing Guidelines, and that the district court erred by denying his motion based on the drug quantity calculated in the presentence report rather than the quantity stipulated in his plea agreement. This contention fails. Even using the cocaine base and powder quantities stipulated in Stephen’s plea agreement, Amendment 750 did not lower the sentencing range applicable to his offense. Thus, Stephen is not eligible for sentence reduction and the district court did not err by denying his motion. See 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2); Leniear, 574 F.3d at 673.
AFFIRMED.
This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provid *820 ed by 9 th Cir. R. 36-3.
