Defendant appealed district court’s denial of his motion to reduce sentence under 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2). Because the career-offender guidelines and not the crack-cocaine guidelines controlled the original sentence, the district court correctly concluded that the defendant was not eligible for a sentence reduction. Court affirmed the denial of the motion.

The defendant’s arguments that his case could be distinguished from Dillon and its 6^th Circuit predecessors were rejected.
