v.

DARRELL WEST,

                                                   Defendant-Appellant

                    Appeal from the United States District Court
                       for the Western District of Louisiana
                            USDC No. 5:03-CR-50094-1

Before WIENER, PRADO, and OWEN, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
        Darrell West, federal prisoner # 11914-035, appeals the district court’s
denial of his 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2) motion to reduce his sentence based on the
amendments to the crack cocaine Guideline. West argues that, in light of United
States v. Booker, 543 U.S. 220 (2005), the district court was authorized to reduce
his sentence based on the new advisory guidelines range and consideration of the
18 U.S.C. § 3553(a) factors. He also contends that his career offender status did
not preclude the court from reducing his sentence. These issues are foreclosed.

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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR .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

                                No. 10-30011

See Dillon v. United States, 130 S. Ct. 2683, 2692 (2010); United States v.
Anderson, 591 F.3d 789, 790-91 (5th Cir. 2009), and United States v. Doublin,
572 F.3d 235, 236-39 (5th Cir.), cert. denied, 130 S. Ct. 517 (2009).
      The judgment of the district court is AFFIRMED.
