Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit·Decided February 21, 2017·No. 16-50058·Unpublished

Opinion

MEMORANDUM **

Vanessa Maria Bishop appeals from the district court’s order denying her motion for a sentence reduction under 18 U.S.C. § 8582(c)(2). We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we affirm.

Bishop contends that she is entitled to a sentence reduction under Amendment 782 to the Sentencing Guidelines. Contrary to Bishop’s contention, the district court properly calculated her amended Guidelines range without considering the four-level fast-track departure that the court granted at her original sentencing. See U.S.S.G. § 1B1.10 cmt. n.1(A); United States v. Ornelas, 825 F.3d 548, 555 (9th Cir. 2016). Because Bishop received a 70-month sentence, which is below the amended Guidelines range, the district court properly denied her motion for a sentence reduction. See U.S.S.G. § 1B1.10(b)(2)(A) (“[T]he court shah not reduce the defendant’s term of imprisonment under 18 U.S.C. § 8582(c)(2) and this policy statement to a term that is less than the minimum of the amended guideline range.’’).

AFFIRMED.
