    UNITED STATES of America, Plaintiff-Appellee v. Magdaleno RODRIGUEZ, also known as Gordo, Defendant-Appellant
    No. 16-41584 Summary Calendar
    United States Court of Appeals, Fifth Circuit.
    Filed August 14, 2017
    Andrew R. Gould, Carmen Castillo Mitchell, Assistant U.S. Attorneys, U.S. Attorney’s Office, Southern District of Texas, Houston, TX, for Plaintiff-Appellee
    Magdaleno Rodriguez, Pro Se
    
      Before DAVIS, CLEMENT, and COSTA, Circuit Judges.
   PER CURIAM:

Magdaleno Rodriguez, federal prisoner # 61992-079, appeals the district court’s denial of his 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2) motion-for a reduction of his sentence based on Amendment 782 to United States Sentencing Guidelines and the denial of his motion for appointment of counsel. He contends that the district court erred in failing to evaluate the 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a) sentencing factors and his postsentencing rehabilitation. We review the district court’s denial of a § 3582(c)(2) motion for an abuse of discretion. United States v. Evans, 587 F.3d 667, 672 (5th Cir. 2009). If a defendant is eligible for a reduction under § 3582(c)(2), the district court must consider the relevant § 3553(a) factors to decide whether a sentence reduction is merited in whole or in part under the specific circumstances of the case. Dillon v. United States, 560 U.S. 817, 827, 130 S.Ct. 2683, 177 L.Ed.2d 271 (2010).

Contrary to Rodriguez’s assertion, the district court stated that it had considered the § 3553(a) factors. See United States v. Cooley, 590 F.3d 293, 297-98 (5th Cir. 2009). With respect to Rodriguez’s argument that the court did not consider his postsentencing conduct, the record shows that he documented his rehabilitation efforts in his motion and that the district court thus had that information before it. See Evans, 587 F.3d at 672-73.

To the extent Rodriguez seeks to reliti-gate the appropriateness of the district court’s original findings regarding his role in the offense, he is not entitled to relief because a § 3582(c)(2) proceeding is not a full resentencing or an opportunity to challenge the original sentence. Dillon, 560 U.S. at 825-26, 130 S.Ct. 2683; United States v. Hernandez, 645 F.3d 709, 712 (5th Cir. 2011). Rodriguez has not shown that the denial of his § 3582(c)(2) motion was an abuse of the district court’s discretion.

Rodriguez also has not shown that the interests of justice required the appointment of counsel for his § 3582(c)(2) motion. The district court did not abuse its discretion in failing to appoint counsel. See Baranowski v. Hart, 486 F.3d 112, 126 (5th Cir. 2007).

AFFIRMED. 
      
       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.
