United States v. Tomas Alvarado

U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit
United States v. Tomas Alvarado, 667 F. App'x 683 (9th Cir. 2016)

United States v. Tomas Alvarado

Opinion

MEMORANDUM **

Tomas Alvarado appeals 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, and we affirm.

Alvarado contends that the district court abused its discretion by denying his motion for a sentence reduction under Amendment 782 to the Sentencing Guidelines. The district court acted within its discretion when it denied Alvarado a sentence reduction based on his undisputed ties with an international drug cartel, his extensive criminal history, and his post-offense conduct. See U.S.S.G. § 1B1.10 cmt. n.1(B); United States v. Lightfoot, 626 F.3d 1092, 1096 (9th Cir. 2010).

AFFIRMED.
