1Opinion of the Court
BERZON, Circuit Judge:
These consolidated appeals were brought by defendants seeking to reduce their sentences for drug-related crimes. They invoke 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2), which allows a court to reduce in certain circumstances a previously imposed sentence, and contend that the Supreme Court's recent interpretation of § 3582(c)(2) in Hughes v. United States , --- U.S. ----, 138 S. Ct. 1765, 201 L.Ed.2d 72 (2018), requires that their motions for resentencing be granted, Ninth Circuit precedent to the contrary notwithstanding. See United States v. Padilla-Diaz , 862 F.3d 856 (9th Cir. 2017).
