MEMORANDUM **

John Fitzgerald Harris appeals from the district court’s denial of his motion to re *894 duce his sentence under 18 U.S.C. § 3582 (c)(2). We have jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1291 , and we affirm.

Harris contends the district court erred by denying his § 3582(c)(2) motion because his sentence was based on a range that has been lowered by Amendment 706 to the United States Sentencing Guidelines. The district court lacked authority to reduce Harris’ below-guidelines sentence because the record demonstrates that Harris’ sentence was not based on the Guidelines. See United States v. Bride, 581 F.3d 888, 891 (9th Cir.2009).

AFFIRMED.
