   MEMORANDUM

Christopher Ryan Durbin appeals 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. We review de novo whether a district court had authority to modify a sentence under section 3582(c)(2), see United States v. Leniear, 574 F.3d 668, 672 (9th Cir. 2009), and we affirm.

Durbin contends that he is entitled to a sentence reduction under Amendment 782 to the Sentencing Guidelines. The district court correctly concluded that Durbin is ineligible for a sentence reduction because his sentence is already below the minimum of the amended Guidelines range. See U.S.S.G. § 1B1.10(b)(2)(A) (“[T]he court shall not reduce the defendant’s term of imprisonment under 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2) and this policy statement to a term that is less than the minimum of the amended guideline range.”). Contrary to Durbin’s contentions, the application of section 1B1.10(b)(2)(A) to his case does not violate the Ex Post Facto Clause, see United States v. Waters, 771 F.3d 679, 680-81 (9th Cir. 2014), and section 3582(c)(2) proceedings “do not implicate the interests identified in Booker.” Dillon v. United States, 560 U.S. 817, 828, 130 S.Ct. 2683, 177 L.Ed.2d 271 (2010).

AFFIRMED.
