UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS
FOR THE FIRST CIRCUIT
No. 93-1469
UNITED STATES,
Appellee,
v.
LUIS EDUARDO NARANJO,
Defendant, Appellant.
APPEAL FROM THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE DISTRICT OF RHODE ISLAND
[Hon. Ernest C. Torres, U.S. District Judge]
Before
Breyer, Chief Judge,
Torruella and Selya, Circuit Judges.
Luis Eduardo Naranjo on brief pro se.
Edwin J. Gale, United States Attorney, and Zechariah Chaffee,
Assistant United States Attorney, on brief for appellee.
Per Curiam. On April 12, 1991, appellant Luis
Eduardo Naranjo was sentenced to 63 months in prison for drug
offenses. At sentencing, Naranjo received a two-level
reduction in base offense level for acceptance of
responsibility. Effective November 1, 1992, the United
States Sentencing Commission amended sentencing guideline
3E1.1 to permit an additional one-level reduction in base
offense level for persons eligible for the two-level
reduction for acceptance of responsibility. Naranjo sought
to reduce his sentence pursuant to the amended guideline,
claiming that the amendment should be applied retroactively.
The district court denied his request. Because we have
decided that the amendment in question is not retroactive,
see DeSouza v. United States, 995 F.2d 323, 324 (1st Cir.
1993) (per curiam), we affirm the district court's denial of
Naranjo's request for a sentence reduction under amended
3E1.1.
Affirmed.
