UNITED STATES,
Appellee,
v.
OSVALDO RODRIGUEZ CARDONA,
Defendant, Appellant.
APPEAL FROM THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE DISTRICT OF PUERTO RICO
[Hon. Héctor M. Laffitte, U.S. District Judge]
Before
Torruella, Circuit Judge,
Stahl, Senior Circuit Judge,
and Lynch, Circuit Judge.
Osvaldo Rodriguez Cardona on brief pro se.
Guillermo Gil, United States Attorney, Jorge E. Vega-
Pacheco, Assistant United States Attorney, and Nelson Perez-
Sosa, Assistant United States Attorney, on brief for appellee.
November 15, 2001
Per Curiam. We have reviewed the parties' briefs
and the record on appeal. We affirm the district court's
denial of appellant's motion filed pursuant to 18 U.S.C. §
3582(c)(2). Section 3582(c)(2) pertains to a defendant who
has been sentenced to a term of imprisonment based on a
sentencing range that has subsequently been lowered by
amendment to the guidelines. It is plainly inapplicable to
appellant. Moreover, appellant may not raise again an issue
already considered and rejected on his direct appeal. See
United States v. Rodriguez-Cardona, 924 F.2d 1148, 1154-57
(1st Cir.), cert. denied, 502 U.S. 809 (1991).
Affirmed.
