MEMORANDUM **
Raul Amezcua appeals from the district courts order denying his motion for compassionate release under 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(1)(A)(i). The district court held that Amezcua had not shown “extraordinary and compelling” reasons warranting his release. 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(1)(A)(i). In doing so, the district court appears to have relied on the U.S. Sentencing Commissions policy statement in U.S. Sentencing Guidelines Manual (“U.S.S.G.”) § 1B1.13. After the district courts decision, we held that “the current version of U.S.S.G. § 1B1.13 is not an ‘applicable policy statement[ ]’ for 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(1)(A) motions filed by a defendant.” United States v. Aruda, No. 20-10245, 993 F.3d 797, 802 (9th Cir. Apr. 8, 2021) (per curiam). “The Sentencing Commissions statements in U.S.S.G. § 1B1.13 may inform a district courts discretion for § 3582(c)(1)(A) motions filed by a defendant, but they are not binding.” Id.
In light of our intervening decision in Aruda, we vacate and remand so that the district court can reassess Amezcuas motion for compassionate release under the standard set forth there. We offer no views as to the merits of Amezcuas § 3582(c)(1)(A)(i) motion.
VACATED AND REMANDED.
