United States v. Jose Arciniega

FILED NOT FOR PUBLICATION DEC 17 2009 MOLLY C. DWYER, CLERK UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS U .S. C O U R T OF APPE ALS FOR THE NINTH CIRCUIT UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, No. 08-10427 Plaintiff - Appellee, D.C. No. 2:94-cr-00251-GEB v. MEMORANDUM * JOSE MANUEL ARCINIEGA, AKA Jessie Gonzalez-Rodriguez, Defendant - Appellant. 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). SZ/Research 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. SZ/Research 2 08-10427
