Lafayette Sheppard, federal prisoner # 41284-177, appeals the district court’s denial of a sentence reduction pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2) based upon the amendment to the Guidelines that implemented the Fair Sentencing Act of 2010. Sheppard maintains that he is entitled to a reduction to his sentence based upon the crack cocaine amendments. He thus asserts that the district court abused its discretion in denying his § 3582(c)(2) motion.

“The crack cocaine guideline amendments do not apply to prisoners sentenced *434 as career offenders.” United States v. Anderson, 591 F.3d 789, 791 (5th Cir. 2009); see also United States v. Webb, 425 Fed.Appx. 406, 407 (5th Cir. 2011) (relying on Anderson to affirm the denial of a § 3582(c)(2) motion under Amendment 750 where the appellant was sentenced as a career offender). Sheppard’s sentence was based not on the amount of drugs, but on his status as a career offender. Thus, the district court did not abuse its discretion in denying Sheppard’s § 3582(c)(2) motion. See United States v. Evans, 587 F.3d 667, 672 (5th Cir. 2009). Accordingly, the judgment of the district court is AFFIRMED.
