ILANA DIAMOND ROVNER, Circuit Judge
ANN CLAIRE WILLIAMS, Circuit Judge
No. 09-3215
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
Plaintiff-Appellee,
v.
RODRIGUEZ D. JONES,
Defendant-Appellant.
Appeal from the United States District
Court for the Central District of Illinois.
No. 3:00-cr-30070-JES-1
Jeanne E. Scott,
Judge.
O R D E R
The defendant-appellant, Rodriguez Jones, sought a reduction of his sentence pursuant to
18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2) based on Amendment 591 of the Sentencing Commission policy. That
Amendment was in effect at the time of Jones’ sentencing and, under its terms, the district court was
not authorized to reduce the term of imprisonment already imposed. Therefore the case should have
been dismissed for want of subject matter jurisdiction. We construe the denial of the relief sought
as a dismissal for want of subject matter jurisdiction and summarily affirm such dismissal.
NONPRECEDENTIAL DISPOSITION
To be cited only in accordance
with Fed. R. App. P. 32.1
