Appeal from the United States District Court

for the District of Nevada

Edward C. Reed, Jr., District Judge, Presiding


Before: CANBY, IKUTA, and WATFORD, Circuit Judges.

Donald Leroy Hogan 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 under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we affirm.

Hogan contends that Amendment 591 to the United States Sentencing Guidelines authorized the district court to resentence him under section 3582(c)(2). We review de novo whether the court had jurisdiction to modify Hogan's sentence. See United States v. Leniear, 574 F.3d 668, 672 (9th Cir. 2009).

The record reflects that Hogan's base offense level was calculated under U.S.S.G. § 2D1.1(c)(1), which was not affected by Amendment 591. See U.S.S.G. app. C, amend. 591 (Supp. 2003); United States v. McEnry, 659 F.3d 893, 898-99 (9th Cir. 2011) (discussing changes made by Amendment 591). Because Amendment 591 did not lower Hogan's advisory Sentencing Guidelines range, the district court lacked jurisdiction to reduce his sentence. See 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2); Leniear, 574 F.3d at 674.

In light of this conclusion, we do not reach Hogan's remaining claims.

AFFIRMED.
