Elisabeth A. Shumaker
Clerk of Court
v.
ERIC RASHAD DIGGS,
Defendant - Appellant.
This order and judgment is not binding precedent, except under the
doctrines of law of the case, res judicata, and collateral estoppel. It may be cited,
however, for its persuasive value consistent with Fed. R. App. P. 32.1 and 10th
Cir. R. 32.1.
**
After examining the briefs and the appellate record, this three-judge
panel has determined unanimously that oral argument would not be of material
assistance in the determination of this appeal. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a); 10th
Cir. R. 34.1(G). The cause is therefore ordered submitted without oral argument.
because [u]nless the basis for resentencing falls within one of the specific
categories authorized by section 3582(c), the district court lacked jurisdiction to
consider [the defendants] request. United States v. Smartt, 129 F.3d 539, 541
(10th Cir. 1997). Section 3582(c)(2) allows the defendant to move for a reduced
sentence in the case of a defendant who has been sentenced to a term of
imprisonment based on a sentencing range that has subsequently been lowered by
the Sentencing Commission. Mr. Diggs has not offered any relevant reduction
of his sentencing range by the Sentencing Commission. Section 3582(c)(2) only
expressly allows a reduction where the Sentencing Commission, not the Supreme
Court, has lowered the range. United States v. Price, 438 F.3d 1005, 1007 (10th
Cir. 2006). Because no basis existed for resentencing under 3582(c)(2), the
district court lacked jurisdiction to consider Mr. Diggss motion. We therefore
grant the governments motion to dismiss the appeal, and deny all other pending
motions.
