Opinion:
PER CURIAM:
Jorge Louis Jaime Quintana, federal prisoner # 59133-079, appeals the district court's denial of his 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2) motion, in which he sought a reduction of his sentence for conspiracy to possess with the intent to distribute more than five kilograms of cocaine. He contends that Amendment 591 should be applied .retroactively in his case. He argues that, under Amendment 591, his base offense level should have been determined by U.S.S.G. § 2D1.4 rather than U.S.S.G. § 2D1.1. He further asserts that, at the time of his sentencing, his conspiracy conviction was not covered by a specific offense guideline and that U.S.S.G. § 2X1.1 was the appropriate section for his offense. Jaime Quin-tana argues that, under § 2X1.1, he is entitled to a three-level reduction in his offense level.
We review for abuse of discretion a district court's decision whether to reduce a sentence pursuant to § 3582(c)(2). United States v. Evans, 587 F.3d 667, 672 (5th Cir. 2009). At the time of the original sentencing proceeding, Jaime Quintana's sentence was calculated under § 2D1.4 and § 2D1.1. The record shows that he was ineligible for a sentence reduction under § 3582(c)(2) because Amendment 591 did not lower his offense level; under Amendment 591, his offense level was calculated under § 2D1.1. Thus, the district court did not abuse its discretion in denying his motion. See Dillon v. United States, 560 U.S. 817, 826, 130 S.Ct. 2683, 177 L.Ed.2d 271 (2010).
The judgment of the district court is AFFIRMED. Jaime Quintana's motion for expedited treatment of the appeal is DENIED.
Pursuant to 5th Cir. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5th Cir. R. 47.5.4.
