Case: 16-20576 Document: 00514165797 Page: 1 Date Filed: 09/21/2017 IN THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FIFTH CIRCUIT No. 16-20576 Summary Calendar UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, United States Court of Appeals Fifth Circuit FILED September 21, 2017 Lyle W. Cayce Clerk Plaintiff-Appellee v. JORGE LUIS GARZA, also known as Guillermo Huerta-Sanchez, also known as Mono Renzo, Defendant-Appellant Appeal from the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas USDC No. 4:99-CR-455-2 Before WIENER, DENNIS, and SOUTHWICK, Circuit Judges. PER CURIAM: * Defendant-Appellant Jorge Luis Garza appeals the denial of his motion for a sentence reduction under 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2). Because of the large quantity of drugs attributable to Garza for sentencing, the reduction in base offense levels provided by Amendment 782 did not lower his base offense level or his sentencing range. The judgment is therefore AFFIRMED. 1 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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR.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. * 1 See United States v. Hernandez, 645 F.3d 709, 712-13 (5th Cir. 2011).
