UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff-Appellee, v. CARSON MAYNARD, Defendant-Appellant.


NOT FOR PUBLICATION

D.C. No. 1:07-cr-00035-DLC MEMORANDUM Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of Montana
Dana L. Christensen, Chief Judge, Presiding Before: TROTT, TASHIMA, and CALLAHAN, Circuit Judges.

This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by Ninth Circuit Rule 36-3.

Carson Maynard appeals pro se from the district court's order denying his motion for reconsideration of the district court's order granting in part his motion for a sentence reduction under 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2). We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we affirm.

Maynard contends that the district court should have further reduced his sentence. The record reflects that the district court correctly calculated the amended Guidelines range and concluded that, in light of Maynard's previous substantial assistance to the government and the 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a) factors, a sentence below the amended range was warranted. Maynard is incorrect that the Guidelines required the court to grant a departure comparable to its original departure. See U.S.S.G. § 1B1.10(b)(2)(B) & cmt. n.3. We conclude that the district court did not abuse its discretion in imposing the new sentence or in denying Maynard's motion for reconsideration. See United States Dunn, 728 F.3d 1151, 1155 (9th Cir. 2013); United States v. Mark, 795 F.3d 1102, 2014 (9th Cir. 2015).

AFFIRMED.
