UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff,v.CHEYENNE GONZALES, Defendant.
Here, the court is unable to rely on Amendment 782 (subject to subsection (e)(1)) to reduce the defendant's sentence under 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2) and USSG §1B1.10. See generally United States v. Curry, 584 F.3d 1102, 1104 (8th Cir. 2009) (discussing United States v. Wyatt, 115 F.3d 606, 608-09 (8th Cir. 1997)) (explaining requirements under USSG §1B1.10(b)). Because the court sentenced the defendant as a career offender, see USSG §4B1.1, Amendment 782 (subject to subsection (e)(1)) does not impact the defendant's guideline range. Therefore, a sentence reduction is not available to the defendant. See United States v. Harris, 688 F.3d 950, 953 (8th Cir. 2012) (explaining current precedent for those sentenced under USSG §4B1.1); United States v. Washington, 618 F.3d 869, 872-73 (8th Cir. 2010) (concluding that relief is unavailable where amendment does not have the effect of lowering the sentencing range); United States v. Collier, 581 F.3d 755, 758 (8th Cir. 2009) (reiterating that relief under 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2) is not available to defendants who were sentenced under the career offender provisions of the sentencing guidelines); United States v. Clay, 524 F.3d 877, 878 (8th Cir. 2008) ("[A defendant] is... not eligible for a sentence reduction... [if] his sentencing range was determined by the career offender provision in USSG §4B1.1."); United States v. Tingle, 524 F.3d 839, 840 (8th Cir. 2008) (concluding that the defendant could not rely on 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2) to reduce his sentence because the defendant's status as a career offender under USSG §4B1.1 determined the guideline range, rather than the amount of drugs under USSG §2D1.1).
