Appellee.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:

            Chauncey Floyd appeals a district court order denying

his motion for a sentence reduction under 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)

(2006).     The district court found Floyd was not eligible for a

reduction     under   the   recent   amendments   to   the     Sentencing

Guidelines because his sentence was based, not on a quantity of

crack cocaine, but on his career offender status.            We find the

district did not abuse its discretion denying Floyd’s motion for

a sentence reduction.       United States v. Goines, 357 F.3d 469,

478 (4th Cir. 2004) (stating standard of review).            Accordingly,

we affirm the district court’s order.         We dispense with oral

argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately

presented in the materials before the court and argument would

not aid the decisional process.

                                                                 AFFIRMED
