IN THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE ELEVENTH CIRCUIT ________________________ FILED U.S. COURT OF APPEALS No. 08-13991 ELEVENTH CIRCUIT FEBRUARY 12, 2009 Non-Argument Calendar THOMAS K. KAHN ________________________ CLERK D. C. Docket No. 98-00166-CR-J-33TEM UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

Plaintiff-Appellee, versus STACY POWELL, Defendant-Appellant.

________________________ Appeal from the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida _________________________ (February 12, 2009) Before BIRCH, CARNES and HULL, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM: Stacy Powell appeals his resentencing under 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2).

Although the district court reduced Powell’s sentence for his crack cocaine conviction under Amendment 706 of the sentencing guidelines, it denied Powell’s request to reduce his sentence further under United States v. Booker, 543 U.S. 220, 125 S. Ct. 738 (2005). Powell contends that the district court erred in failing to apply Booker at his resentencing.

Recently this circuit joined the Eighth, Fourth, and Tenth Circuits in holding that Booker does not apply at resentencing proceedings under § 3582(c)(2). United States v. Melvin, __ F.3d __, No. 08-13497 (Feb. 3, 2009); see also United States v. Starks, __ F.3d __, No. 08-2590, 2009 WL 66115 (8th Cir. Jan. 13, 2009); United States v. Dunphy, __ F.3d __, No. 08-6919, 2009 WL 19139 (4th Cir. Jan.

5, 2009); United States v. Rhodes, 549 F.3d 833 (10th Cir. 2008). There was no error at the resentencing.

AFFIRMED.
