Griffin first alleges that the district court violated its general orders when it refused to appoint new counsel for him after his public defender withdrew from the

case. We disagree. There is no right to counsel in section 3582 (c)(2) proceedings, see Un ited States v. Townsend , 98 F.3d 510, 512

- 13 (9th Cir. 1996) , and the district court did not abuse its discretion in declining to appoint substitute
counsel. See United States v. Heller , 551 F.3d 1108, 1111 (9th Cir. 2009).
Griffin next contends that the district court erred by calculating the amended Guidelines range without making a finding regarding drug type and quantity. The record reflects, however, that the court properly relied upon the drug type and quantity calcula ted at Griffin’s initial sentencing

. See U.S.S.G. § 1B1.10(a)(3) , (b)(1) ; Dillon v. United States , 560 U.S. 817, 831 (2010)

. Griffin next argues that the district court erred in declining to hold an evidentiary hearing on whether an informal immunity agreement existed . We reject this claim because th e issue of whether Griffin’s criminal conduct was
immunized is not cognizable in a section 358 2(c)(2) proceeding. See Dillon, 560
U.S. at 825

- 26 ; see also Townsend , 98 F.3d at 513 ( the district court has discretion
to decline to hold an evidentiary hearing on a section 3582 motion). For the same reason, the court p roperly denied Griffin’s motion for confession of judgment3 15

- 30242

relating to the alleged immunity agreement.
Griffin next asserts various challenges to the district court’s treatment of his mitigating arguments, including its reliance on facts contained in the presentence report

. The record reflects that the district court carefully considered all of Griffin’s mitigating arg uments in granting a 33

- month reduction in his sentence. Even assuming that the court could entertain Griffin’s challenges to the presentence report at this stage, it gave them due consideration and rejected them. Finally, Griffin argues that the district court erred by denying his petitions
for a writ of error coram nobis. Reviewing de novo, United States v. Riedl , 496 F.3d 1003, 1005 (9th Cir. 2007) , we find no error

. Griffin cannot show that a more usual remedy is unavailable to attack his conviction

. See Matus

- Leva v. United States , 287 F.3d 758, 7 61 (9th Cir. 2002) ( coram nobis relief is inappropriate for those who are in custody even if § 2255 relief is technically unavailable).
AFFIRMED.
