jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we affirm.
Herrera’s plea agreement provided that, if he received the benefit of then-
pending Amendment 782 at sentencing, he waived any right to file a later motion
for a sentence reduction under that amendment. Contrary to Herrera’s contention,
the record reflects that the sentencing court granted him the benefit of Amendment
782 by way of a two-level downward variance. Accordingly, the district court
correctly concluded that Herrera had waived the right to pursue a further reduction.
AFFIRMED.
