James Carroll Eason, Jr., federal prisoner # 44258-177, appeals the district court’s denial of his 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2) motion to reduce his 210-month sentence for conspiracy to distribute and possess with intent to distribute a controlled substance. Eason sought a modification of his sentence based on Amendment 782 to the Sentencing Guidelines.

Eason argues that the district court erred in concluding that he was not entitled to a sentence reduction because it did not properly consider that his original guidelines range was calculated using an improperly inflated drug quantity. We review for abuse of discretion a district court’s decision whether to reduce a sentence pursuant to § 3582(c)(2). United States v. Evans, 587 F.3d 667, 672 (5th Cir. 2009).

An offense level of 42 and criminal history category of V yielded an original guidelines range of 360 to 480 months in prison. A two-level reduction pursuant to Amendment 782 would have resulted in an offense level of 40. With a criminal history category of V, Eason’s new guidelines range of imprisonment would have remained 360 to 480 months in prison. See 21 U.S.C. §§ 846 & 841(a)(1), (b)(1)(B); U.S.S.G. Ch. 5, Pt. A. Because Eason’s sentence was based on a sentencing range that was not subsequently lowered by Amendment 782, he is not eligible for a reduced sentence under § 3582(c)(2). See § 3582(c); § 1B1.10(a)(2) & cmt. (n.1(A)); United States v. Doublin, 572 F.3d 235, 237 (5th Cir. 2009). Accordingly, the judgment of the district court is AFFIRMED.
