v.

MICHAEL BELL,

                                             Defendant-Appellant

                 Appeal from the United States District Court
                    for the Western District of Louisiana
                         USDC No. 3:93-CR-30033-2

Before WIENER, BENAVIDES, and STEWART, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
      Michael Bell appeals the sentence imposed following the district court’s
reduction of his sentence pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2). Bell argues that the
holding in United States v. Booker, 543 U.S. 220 (2005), applies in § 3582(c)(2)
proceedings and that the district court abused its discretion by not imposing a
sentence below the amended guidelines sentencing range. Bell’s arguments are
foreclosed by United States v. Doublin, 572 F.3d 235, 236-39 (5th Cir. 2009),
petition for cert. filed (Sept. 21, 2009) (No. 09-6657).
      AFFIRMED.

      *
      Pursuant to 5 TH C IR. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion
should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited
circumstances set forth in 5 TH C IR. R. 47.5.4.
