in 1996, reducing his sentence from 310 months to 293 months, Diaz-Aspina now
contends, pursuant to United States v. Booker, 534 U.S. 220 (2005), and United
States v. Hicks, 472 F.3d 1167 (9th Cir. 2006), that he is entitled to a full
resentencing proceeding so that the district court may consider a further sentence
reduction. This contention is foreclosed. See Dillon v. United States, 130 S.Ct.
2683, 2692-93 (2010) (concluding that neither the constitutional nor the remedial
aspects of Booker apply to a resentencing proceeding under § 3582(c)(2)).
AFFIRMED.
