TERRY BRAY,

               Defendant - Appellant.

                    Appeal from the United States District Court
                       for the Central District of California
                    Audrey B. Collins, District Judge, Presiding

                           Submitted December 19, 2012 **

Before:        GOODWIN, WALLACE, and FISHER, Circuit Judges.

       Terry Bray appeals pro se from the district court’s order denying his motion

for a sentence reduction under 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2). We have jurisdiction under

28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review de novo whether a district court has jurisdiction to

except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3.
          **
             The panel unanimously concludes this case is suitable for decision
without oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2).
modify a sentence under section 3582. See United States v. Wesson, 583 F.3d 728,

730 (9th Cir. 2009). We affirm.

      Bray contends that he is eligible for a sentence reduction under Amendment

750, which amended the drug quantity table in U.S.S.G. § 2D1.1 for offenses

involving crack cocaine. However, Bray was sentenced as a career offender

pursuant to U.S.S.G. § 4B1.1. Therefore, his sentence was not based on a

Guidelines range that has been lowered, and the district court lacked jurisdiction to

modify his sentence. See 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2); Wesson, 583 F.3d at 731-32.

      AFFIRMED.
