   MEMORANDUM

Rodrigo Colmenares Y Sanchez-Soto appeals pro se from the district court’s order denying 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.

Sanchez-Soto contends that he is entitled to a sentence reduction under Amendment 782 to the Sentencing Guidelines. We review de novo whether a district court had authority to modify a sentence under section 3682(c)(2). See United States v. Leniear, 574 F.3d 668, 672 (9th Cir. 2009). Given the quantity of drugs involved in Sanchez-Soto’s offense, Amendment 782 did not lower his sentencing range. See U.S.S.G. § 2D1.1(c)(1) (2014). Therefore, a reduction is not authorized under section 3682(c)(2). See U.S.S.G. § lB1.10(a)(2)(B) (2014); United States v. Mercado-Moreno, 869 F.3d 942, 948-49 (9th Cir. 2017).

AFFIRMED.
