Howard Matz, District Judge, Presiding Argued and Submitted February 7, 2013 Pasadena, California Before: CALLAHAN, IKUTA, and HURWITZ, Circuit Judges. Jesus Martinez appeals a district court order denying his motion pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2) for reduction of sentence based on the Fair Sentencing Act of 2010 (“FSA”) and subsequent amendments to the Sentencing Guidelines. Martinez’s 60 month sentence was the statutory mandatory minimum at the time of his * This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3. sentencing. See 21 U.S.C. § 841(b)(1)(B) (2006). Because the FSA does not apply to defendants sentenced before its effective date, United States v.
