Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Western District of Texas
USDC No. EP-01-CR-823-DB
--------------------
Before DeMOSS, DENNIS, and PRADO, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Frank Principe-Espinoza, federal prisoner # 14170-051, appeals the district court’s denial of his 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2) motion wherein he argued that the 2001 Sentencing Guidelines version of U.S.S.G. § 2L1.2(b) should be applied retroactively to his sentence under Amendment 632.
Amendments to the Sentencing Guidelines may not be applied retroactively upon a motion under 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2) unless
* 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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR.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.
No. 02-51010 they are specifically set forth in U.S.S.G. § 1B1.10(c). U.S.S.G. § 1B1.10(a), p.s. (Nov. 2001). Amendment 632 is not listed in U.S.S.G. § 1B1.10(c) and therefore may not be applied retroactively under Principe-Espinoza's motion. See United States v. Drath, 89 F.3d 216, 218 (5th Cir. 1996) (amendment not listed in U.S.S.G. § 1B1.10(c) “cannot be given retroactive effect in the context of a § 3582(c)(2) motion”). Accordingly, the district court did not abuse its discretion when it denied Principe-Espinoza’s 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2) motion.
AFFIRMED.
