PER CURIAM: 

Teddy Garcia appeals the district court’s denial of his motion to reduce his 

sentence, pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2). He says that the district court abused 

its discretion by not considering the 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a) factors and by classifying 

him as a career offender. Garcia was not eligible for a sentence reduction, because 

he was sentenced as a career offender. So the district court did not have the 

authority to consider the § 3553(a) factors. Furthermore, a § 3582(c)(2) motion 

cannot be used to challenge his status as a career offender. See Dillon v. United 

States, 130 S. Ct. 2683 (2010).

AFFIRMED.
