UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
Plaintiff-Appellee,
versus
FELIPE DE JESUS ANDAZOLA-QUEZADA,
Defendant-Appellant.
--------------------
Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Western District of Texas
USDC No. EP-99-CR-1317-DB
--------------------
February 19, 2003
Before WIENER, EMILIO M. GARZA, and CLEMENT, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Federal prisoner Felipe De Jesus Andazola-Quezada appeals
the district court’s denial of his 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2) motion.
In that court he argued that § 2LI.2(b) of the 2001 version of
the Sentencing Guidelines, as amended by Amendment 632, should
be applied retroactively to his sentence.
Amendments to the Sentencing Guidelines may not be applied
retroactively on a § 3582(c)(2) motion unless they are listed in
U.S.S.G. § 1B1.10(c). U.S.S.G. § 1B1.10(a), p.s. (Nov. 2001).
*
Pursuant to 5TH CIR. R. 47.5, the court has determined
that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent
except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR.
R. 47.5.4.
No. 02-50579
-2-
Amendment 632 is not listed in § 1B1.10(c) and therefore may not
be applied retroactively. See United States v. Drath, 89 F.3d
216, 218 (5th Cir. 1996) (amendment not listed in U.S.S.G.
§ 1B1.10(c) “cannot be given retroactive effect in the context of
a § 3582(c)(2) motion”). The district court did not abuse its
discretion when it denied Andazola-Quezada’s § 3582(c)(2) motion.
Also without merit is Andazola-Quezada’s Apprendi v. New
Jersey, 530 U.S. 466 (2000), argument. See Almendarez-Torres
v. United States, 523 U.S. 224, 235 (1998); see also United
States v. Dabeit, 231 F.3d 979, 984 (5th Cir. 2000), cert.
denied, 531 U.S. 1202 (2001).
AFFIRMED.
