OPINION OF THE COURT
RESTREPO, Circuit Judge.
Appellant Jose Rodriguez appeals as substantively unreasonable the District Court’s discretionary denial of his motion for a sentencing reduction under 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2). While this would ordinarily be a routine appeal, it is not here because the Government raises a novel challenge to our appellate jurisdiction.
