United States v. Eliseo Lopez Martinez
Opinion
MEMORANDUM **
Elíseo Lopez Martinez 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. We review for abuse of discretion, see United States v. Dunn, 728 F.3d 1151, 1155 (9th Cir. 2013), and we affirm.
Lopez Martinez contends that the district court should have reduced his sentence under Amendment 782 in light of his positive post-sentencing conduct, his age, and the fact that he will be deported upon his release from prison. Contrary to Lopez Martinez’s contention, the record reflects that the district court considered these circumstances, but concluded that a reduction was not warranted because of the “extreme danger to the community” that Lopez Martinez poses and because of his leadership role in the offense. The district court did not abuse its discretion in denying Lopez Martinez’s motion. See U.S.S.G. § 1B1.10 cmt. n.1(B); United States v. Lightfoot, 626 F.3d 1092, 1096 (9th Cir. 2010).
AFFIRMED.
