UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
Plaintiff-Appellee,
versus
JAIME SALGADO-BUSTAMANTE,
Defendant-Appellant.
--------------------
Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Southern District of Texas
USDC No. M-00-CR-499-1
--------------------
Before SMITH, DeMOSS, and STEWART, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Jaime Salgado-Bustamante appeals from the denial of his motion
for reduction of his sentence. Salgado’s motion to file a reply
brief out-of-time is GRANTED. However, as the district court was
without authority to modify the imposed term, see United States v.
Bridges, 116 F.3d 1110, 1112 (5th Cir. 1997), the denial of the
motion for a sentence reduction is without error and is AFFIRMED.
*
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this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except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.
