PER CURIAM:

              Michael Malone Rosenburgh appeals the district court’s

order    denying      his   motion       for   a   sentence       reduction    under     18

U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2) (2006).               The district court found Rosenburgh

was     not   eligible       for     a    reduction      under       U.S.     Sentencing

Guidelines Manual App. C. Amend. 706 (2007), which lowered the

base offense levels for drug offenses involving cocaine base.

Because Rosenburgh was sentenced on the basis of his status as a

career offender, he was not entitled to a reduction pursuant to

Amendment      706,    so    the     district       court     did     not     abuse     its

discretion in denying Rosenburgh's motion.                    See 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
