Opinion:
MEMORANDUM
Dorian Shareef Fowler appeals pro se from the district eodrt's order denying his motion for a sentence reduction under 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2). We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review the denial of a section 3582(c)(2) motion for abuse of discretion, see United States v. Dunn, 728 F.3d 1151, 1155 (9th Cir. 2013), and we affirm.
Fowler contends that in denying his section 3582(c)(2) motion, the district court placed too much weight on his criminal history and failed to consider the purpose of Amendment 782 to the Sentencing Guidelines. After finding that Fowler was eligible for a reduction under Amendment 782, the district court properly considered the 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a) factors in analyzing whether a reduction was warranted. See Dillon v. United States, 560 U.S. 817, 827, 130 S.Ct. 2683, 177 L.Ed.2d 271 (2010). The district court then' concluded that the original 180-month sentence, which was a 30-month variance below the then-applicable guideline range, "fully accounted for [Fowler's] equities, and no new circumstances have been presented to alter that conclusion." Considering the section 3553(a) factors and the totality of. the circumstances, the district court did not abuse its discretion in denying Fowler's motion. See Dunn, 728 F.3d at 1159-60; see also United States v. Gutierrez-Sanchez, 587 F.3d 904, 908 (9th Cir. 2009) ("The weight to be given the various [section 3553(a)] factors in a particular case is for the discretion of the district court.").
AFFIRMED.
