Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Eastern District of California
Garland E. Burrell, District Judge, Presiding
Submitted November 17, 2009 **
Before: ALARCÓN, TROTT, and TASHIMA, Circuit Judges.
Jose Manuel Arciniega appeals pro se from the district court’s order denying
his 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2) motion for reduction of sentence. We have jurisdiction
pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we affirm.

This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent
except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3.

The panel unanimously finds this case suitable for decision without
oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2).

Arciniega contends that the district court erred when it denied his 18 U.S.C.
§ 3582(c)(2) motion for a sentence reduction under Amendment 709 to U.S.S.G.
§ 4A1.2(c)(1)(A). Because that Amendment is not referenced by U.S.S.G.
§ 1B1.10(c), Arciniega is not eligible for a sentence reduction under § 3582(c)(2).
See 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2); U.S.S.G. § 1B1.10(a) (2008); United States v. Cueto, 9
F.3d 1438, 1440-41 (9th Cir. 1993).
AFFIRMED.
