when ruling on his § 3582(c)(2) motion. This contention is foreclosed. See Dillon

Contreras also contends that the district court erred by failing to correct a
mistake in his original sentence when ruling on the § 3582(c)(2) motion. As a

appeal. See United States v. Robinson, 20 F.3d 1030, 1032 (9th Cir. 1994).
AFFIRMED.
