United States v. Jefferson , 363 F. App'x 509 ( 2010 )

MEMORANDUM ^**

Joseph Jefferson appeals from the district court’s order denying his motion for a sentence reduction under 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2) based on the retroactive application of Amendment 706 to the Sentence Guidelines provisions governing crack cocaine. We have jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we affirm.

Jefferson contends that the district court erred by denying his motion for a sentence reduction under Amendment 70€ because his sentence was based, in part, or a sentencing range calculated under thE Drug Quantity Table in U.S.S~G. § 2D1.1, This contention fails because Jeffersor qualified as a career offender undei U.S.S.G. § 4B1.1. Because the district court sentenced Jefferson based on a sentencing range calculated under § 4B1.1, hc is not eligible for a sentence reductior under Amendment 706. See United States v. Wesson, 583 F.3d 728, 731 (9th Cir 2009).

AFFIRMED.
