Jose Luis Luna Garcia, Adelanto, CA, pro se.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of Montana, Donald W. Molloy, District Judge, Presiding. D.C. No. 9:03-cr-00053-DWM.

MEMORANDUM

This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3.


Jose Luis Luna-Garcia appeals pro se from the district court's order denying his motion for reduction or review of sentence. We have jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we affirm.

Luna-Garcia contends that the district court erred in denying his motion for a reduction of sentence and a review of sentence pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3582 and 18 U.S.C. § 3742. The district court properly concluded that it lacked authority to resentence him. See United States v. Town-send, 98 F.3d 510, 513 (9th Cir. 1996) (per curiam).

To the extent that Luna-Garcia seeks relief pursuant to Fed.R.Crim.P. 33, this claim was also properly denied by the district court. See Fed.R.Crim.P. 33; see also United States v. McKinney, 952 F.2d 333, 336 (9th Cir. 1991).

To the extent that Luna-Garcia challenges the district court's dismissal of his 28 U.S.C. § 2255 motion, we construe this as a motion to broaden the certificate of appealability, and deny the motion. See 9th Cir. R. 22-1(e); Hiivala v. Wood, 195 F.3d 1098, 1104-05 (9th Cir. 1999) (per curiam).

AFFIRMED.
