United States v. Davis
Opinion of the Court
Affirmed by unpublished PER CURIAM opinion.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
Alphonso Davis appeals the district court’s order denying his 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2) (2006) motion. On appeal, Davis contends that he should be resen-tenced under Amendment 706 of the Sentencing Guidelines because the district court incorrectly categorized him as a career offender. See U.S. Sentencing Guidelines Manual (“USSG”) § 2Dl.l(c) (2007 & Supp. 2008); USSG App. C Amend. 706; see also USSG § 4B1.1. We note that Davis’ sentence was not determined by his status as a career offender. Rather, he was sentenced to the statutory mandatory minimum term under 21 U.S.C. § 841(b)(1)(A) (2006). Therefore, Davis is not eligible for a sentencing reduction under the amendment to the guidelines. Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s
AFFIRMED.
