The panel unanimously concludes this case is suitable for decision without oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2). modification of a term of imprisonment pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(1) for abuse of discretion. United States v. Aruda, 993 F.3d 797, 799 (9th Cir. 2021). We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we affirm.
The district court’s factual findings were supported by the record, and the court applied the correct law by determining whether “extraordinary and compelling reasons warrant[ed]” a reduction in Hernandez’s term of imprisonment and “considering the factors set forth in” 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a) “to the extent they [were] applicable[.]” 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(1)(A); United States v. Keller, 2 F.4th 1278, 1283–84 (9th Cir. 2021). Hernandez’s briefing alleges factual developments occurring after the district court’s decision, but this case does not fall within any exception to our rule that we do not consider matters outside the district court record on appeal. Lowry v. Barnhart, 329 F.3d 1019, 1024–25 (9th Cir. 2003). The district court did not abuse its discretion in denying Hernandez’s motion.
AFFIRMED.
