Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Southern District of Florida

(June 15, 2015)
Before WILLIAM PRYOR, JORDAN and JILL PRYOR, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:
Case: 14-15296 Date Filed: 06/15/2015 Page: 2 of 2
Billy Cleveland appeals pro se the denial of his motion for a sentence
reduction. 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2). Cleveland based his motion on Amendment 782
to the Sentencing Guidelines. We affirm.
The district court did not err when it denied Cleveland’s motion for a
reduction of his sentence. Cleveland, whose sentence is based on the career
offender guideline, U.S.S.G. § 4B1.1, not on the drug quantity tables, id. § 2D1.1,
is ineligible for a sentence reduction under Amendment 782. See United States v.
Lawson, 686 F.3d 1317, 1321 (11th Cir. 2012); United States v. Moore, 541 F.3d
1323, 1327–30 (11th Cir. 2008). Cleveland challenges his classification as a career
offender, but that challenge is outside the limited scope of section 3582(c)(2). See
United States v. Bravo, 203 F.3d 778, 780–81 (11th Cir. 2000).
We AFFIRM the denial of Cleveland’s motion to reduce.
