United States v. Jesus Fontes

U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit
United States v. Jesus Fontes, 675 F. App'x 751 (9th Cir. 2017)

United States v. Jesus Fontes

Opinion

MEMORANDUM **

Jesus Manuel Fontes appeals pro se from the district court’s order granting in part 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.

Fontes contends that the district court should have further reduced his sentence. Contrary to Fontes’s view, the district court properly calculated his amended guideline range as 168 to 210 months with *752 out considering the one-level variance that the court granted at his original sentencing. See U.S.S.G. § 1B1.10 cmt. n.1(A); United States v. Ornelas, 825 F.3d 548, 552 (9th Cir. 2016). Because the district court reduced Fontes’s sentence to 168-months, he' is ineligible for any further sentence reduction. See U.S.S.G. § 1B1.10(b)(2)(A) (“[T]he court shall not reduce the defendant’s term of imprisonment under 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2) and this policy statement to a term that is less than the minimum of the amended guideline range.”).

AFFIRMED.
