- Appellant.

________________________ Appeal from the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida

________________________ (June 30, 2015) Before HULL , ROSENBAUM, and ANDE RSON , Circuit Judges. PER CURIAM:

Case: 14-12664 Date Filed: 06/30/2015 Page: 1 of 42 Gregory Allen Blue appeals his sentence of 1 02 months’ imprisonment, imposed below the advisory guidelines range, after pleading guilty to one count of
possess ing with intent to distribute heroin and crack cocaine, in vi olation of 2 1 U.S.C. § 841(a)(1)

. On appeal, Blue argues that he was improperly sentenced as a career offender under U.S.S.G. § 4B1.1 (a) because his two prior convictions under section 893.13(1) of the Florida Statutes were not “controlled substance offen ses” within the meaning of the career offender provision

. Blue argues that a prior conviction can only be a “controlled substance offense” if it is “substantially similar” to the federal drug trafficking definition. Unlike federal law, h is convictions und er section 893.13 (1) did not have a mens rea element, so they could not be “controlled substance offense s. ” We review de novo the district court’s decision to classify a defendant as a career offender under U.S.S.G. § 4B1.1. United States v. Gibson , 434 F.3d 1234, 1243 (11th Cir. 2006). A prior panel’s holding is binding on all subsequent panels unless and until it is overruled or undermined to the point of abrogation by the Supreme Court or by this Court sitting en banc

. United States v. Archer , 53 1 F.3d 1347, 1352 (11th Cir. 2008). A defendant is a career offender if, among other things, he has at least two prior felony convictions for a controlled substance offense. U.S.S.G. § 4B1.1(a). A “controlled substance offense”

Case: 14-12664 Date Filed: 06/30/2015 Page: 2 of 43 means an offense under f ederal or state law, punishable by imprisonment for a term exceeding one year, that prohibits the manufacture, import, export, distribution, or dispensing of a controlled substance (or a counterfeit substance) or the possession of a controlled substance (o r a counterfeit substance) with intent to manufacture, import, export, distribute, or dispense. Id. § 4B1.2(b). Florida law punishes the sale, manufacture, delivery, or possession with intent to sell, manufacture, or deliver, of cocaine as a second

- degree felony. See Fla. Stat. § 893.13(1)(a)(1). Doing the same within 1000 feet of a school is a first

degree felony, and doing the same with marijuana within 1000 feet of a school is a second

- degree felony. See id. § 893.13(1)(c) (1)

– (2). First

- degree felon ies are punishable by up to 30 years’ imprisonment, id. § 775.0 8 2(3)(b)(1); second

- degree felonies are punishable by up to 15 years’ imprisonment, id. § 775.082(3)(d). We have previously determined that a conviction under section 893.13(1) is a “controlle d substance offense” under § 4B1.2(b) in United States v. Smith , 775 F.3d 1262 , 1267

– 68 (2014). As Blue recognizes, his arguments are foreclosed by Smith

. Here, Blue was properly sentenced as a career offender because his prior marijuana and cocaine convictions were offenses under state law, punishable by a term of imprisonment exceeding one year, and concerned the distribution or dispensing, or possession

Case: 14-12664 Date Filed: 06/30/2015 Page: 3 of 44 with intent to distribute or dispense, of a controlled substance. See Smith , 775 F.3d
at 1267

– 6 8; see also U.S.S.G. § 4B1.2(b). We affirm. AFFIRMED. Case: 14-12664 Date Filed: 06/30/2015 Page: 4 of 4
