No. 09-3215

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

Plaintiff-Appellee,

v.

RODRIGUEZ D. JONES,

Defendant-Appellant.

Appeal from the United States District 

Court for the Central District of Illinois.

No. 3:00-cr-30070-JES-1

Jeanne E. Scott,

 Judge.

O R D E R

The defendant-appellant, Rodriguez Jones, sought a reduction of his sentence pursuant to

18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2) based on Amendment 591 of the Sentencing Commission policy. That

Amendment was in effect at the time ofJones’ sentencing and, under its terms, the district court was

not authorized to reduce the term of imprisonment already imposed. Therefore the case should have

been dismissed for want of subject matter jurisdiction. We construe the denial of the relief sought

as a dismissal for want of subject matter jurisdiction and summarily affirm such dismissal.

NONPRECEDENTIAL DISPOSITION

To be cited only in accordance 

with Fed. R. App. P. 32.1
